OLPC auto reinstall / update
This is the way that I use to update the OLPCs here in INdT. You need to use a pen drive and put the auto install files in your pen drive. I’m using the OLPC pen drive format. I don’t know if it’s necessary to auto reinstall, but I’m using this format and it’s working.
I formated the pen drive using the OLPC format(partition 1=primary, files ystem type=ext3,label=OLPCRoot). I wrote a tutorial about it already reported here.
cd /media/OLPCRoot/
sudo unzip /home/alecrim/kernel/olpc/olpc406_c11.zip
Password:
Archive: /home/alecrim/kernel/olpc/olpc406_c11.zip
creating: boot/
inflating: boot/q2c11.rom
inflating: boot/olpc.fth
inflating: boot/nand406.img
inflating: bzImage
Dismount the pen drive, plug it in the OLPC and turn it on. It’s going to auto install the new image. Be sure your OLPC is plug in the energy, it can not be interrupted during update.
Great success !!!!
