Installing Debian (Etch)
Boot the fedora system, get a network connection, run "olpc-update -r -v -f debian-big" as root. Reboot into Debian.
Use a usbstick, to copy a newer kernel, dilingers olpc packages (available via my repo, see below) and all the depends for network-manager-gnome on the XO and install them. These are the packages you need:
linux-image-2.6.22 olpc-base olpc-base-jffs2 olpc-libertas-fw locales dbus dhcdbd hal iproute iputils-arping libatm1 libnl1-pre6 libnm-util0 libpci2 network-manager network-manager-gnome pciutils usbutils wpasupplicant
cd /boot ; ln -sf vmlinuz-2.6.22 vmlinuz
passwd root
for i in plugdev powerdev netdev audio video ; do adduser olpc $i ; done
Reboot into the new kernel and log into gnome as the user "olpc" and configure the network using network manager. Once you have network it's pretty safe to remove fedora, by deleting the dir in /var/pristine and /var/run
add my sources to /etc/apt/sources.lists (see below)
apt-get update && apt-get install -f && apt-get upgrade && apt-get distupgrade
apt-get clean
apt-get install ssh
apt-get install pmount gnome-volume-manager
apt-get install mpg123-alsa alsa-utils vim slay less
apt-get install xbase-clients xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-mouse xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xutils xserver-xorg-video-amd
apt-get install xchat dillo
copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf from usbstick
apt-get remove emacs*
apt-get clean
Relogin into the new xorg
To be continued :-)
