the instructions presume that you don't mind losing any data you have on the laptop. if that's a problem, you could save the data to a USB drive first.

the best tip i can give you is that every word in those instructions is important, we try to remove words that are unimportant. so don't skip anything unless you are really sure.

okay, plug in the USB drive to the XO. Then you gotta start Terminal. And I'll get you to cut and paste a few commands into Terminal.

okay, here's how to cut and paste from irc to terminal. first, highlight the words in irc, here's the words between the quotes " cd /media/* && wget http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/874/os874.img " then press Control/C then switch to Terminal, then press Shift/Control/V

so the wget command is doing the first download, the big one. after that there's another one to do, which is very small, then changing a file name, then it's nearly ready to install.

okay, you see the wget command? there's a way to change that command so that it grabs some of the file now and some another time. it's called the continue mode. so if you have to shutdown ...

so just to make a summary ... you are in the middle of downloading the big file, then we gotta download the small file, change the name of it, then you're set to do the install. after install you will need to connect to internet again, and download the irc activity.
