Greetings folks,
As you may have read on http://planet.fedoraproject.org ([1] [2]), several folks are working to make Fedora 10 running on XO hardware "just work". In order to help, I'm pulling together a test plan aimed guiding/organizing XO testers towards validating the unique environment offered by the XO.
The test plan does not try to test every application offered in Fedora ... only those provided on the Fedora Live ISO image. Of those, the highest priority will be areas that target XO hardware.
The test plan is very much in DRAFT (v0.0.1) mode, but there's no better time to solicit feedback. My intent is that the document will eventually answer most/all questions surrounding the test effort. Until then, if something is unclear/incorrect please don't hesitate to shout.
If you have experience with laptop testing or own an XO, I'm anxious for your input.

Many thanks! James

Thanks for writing this up! I'm on the XO list and am just waiting for kit. One thing I noticed is that several areas rely on keyboard mappings for accelerator keys; katzj posted this link on his blog: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsien t/quirk/quirk-keymap-index.html Good reading for the "Getting Started" section, or maybe a condensed OLPC-specific primer. This might also be a good link to include: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_English_Keyboard

I got the 4GB card (the blessed one) because it came with a tiny little card reader for free. I just installed the live image on it. I just left it formatted as fat32 is that ok? I had to install syslinux and mark the partition as bootable but all that is pretty obvious during the install. I haven't tried it, don't have my XO yet. Will it only boot on an XO or will it work on any hardware?

You should use the livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script which takes care of that: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestPlans/Fedora10_On_XO#Installing_your_S...
It dd's the OLPC disk image, including partition and filesystem information.
