An internet connection can be made via a USB wired<br>ethernet as the Fedora operating system picks it up O.K. The only<br>problem here is that an internet
update only works with build version<br>653 or higher, due to a bug in the OLPC-update rpm. An updated rpm can<br>be downloaded and rpm forced to correct this. I decided that I wanted<br>to update the firmware and o.s. image to the latest stable build (703)<br>via USB. I down loaded the image etc. and it only took 10 minutes to<br>do the upgrading via USB, nice and simple, I had to put on the<br>activities separately via USB as this was not included with the o.s.<br>image, I used the latest activity version and the menu bar looks a lot<br>better. So now we have both laptops updated to the latest versions and<br>WPA is working perfectly. To update the o.s. in the future, all you<br>have to do now is open up the terminal:<br>$ su -l<br>$ olpc-update <version no.><br><br>Gordon<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:dundee@lists.lug.org.uk"
