SD card instructions

[Karlie Robinson]

I realize we won't have formal instructions for users until much closer 
to the release, but I've asked the artwork team to create an image 
illustrating how to insert the F10 SD card into the XO. 

I'll update this list with any progress reports.

Yes and no. 

Kim has asked that we include printed instructions of some sort so I'm 
thinking we need to show both the proper direction to turn the monitor 
and then the card going into the slot.  Though the images will probably 
be very helpful to the art team if they decide to take on the task. 

I also don't have a lot of space because I'm going to be using a 4x6" 
card so I was hoping for a line drawing or something we won't loose 
detail on if we shrink it and go to black and white. 

Though while I have you, do you know where I can find OLPC logo usage 
guidelines?  Of course when I use the laptop.org wiki I get loads of 
pages talking about the Logo Application

The Fedora Art team is working on the graphics right now.  In fact, Mike 
Langlie said he should have something for us in the next week.

They're done! and they're wonderful.

Mike Langlie of Red Hat and the Fedora Art team posted them here -

Very nice. The only issue is that step 3 shows the display pushed too
far back.

Would someone be interested in fact-checking this for me before it's 
made public?

I don't think Atari cartridges work as a good analogy except for a small 
niche audience. You might want to try some simpler explanation instead.

Also, a random list of linux distributions at the end doesn't work very 
well in a article about Fedora and OLPC. If you want to, you can 
highlight other Linux distributions with OLPC focus.

Agreed. And the good list of those is here :-)

Thanks guys.

When I began the article it was intended to be about how good "Live" 
Flash/SD installations work under linux, and the "random list" was 
actually a list of the best performing Live Persistent distributions 
we've had the privileged of putting on Flash Drives. But I was also 
wanting to throw Fedora at the top of the list for the effort with the 
F10/XO...so I basically chunked it in at the beginning and end.

Anyway, I've updated the short article with the sugarlab.org info, 
inserted a missing heading, and re-arranged the "random list" which 
helped clean it up.

Thanks again!

Our site stats are showing that the following website picked up Todd's 
article and as a result, we've got our first SD Card pre-order! (only 
159 to go to pay off the $4,800 SD card bill - lol)
