View source for XO as XS

This page records [[User:CScott|my]] efforts to get an XO to act as a school server.

==Preparing the image==
As documented on the [[XS Installing Software]] page, the first step is to grab the install iso.  I used build 128, from [http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/OLPC_XS_128.iso].  Converting this to a USB image requires some fedora-only tools, and I run Debian, so I downloaded the file to my laptop then launched Fedora Core 7 in qemu with:
 $ qemu -soundhw es1370 -redir tcp:2222::22 -m 512 -hda fedora7-pilgrim.img -fda /dev/sdb1 -cdrom ~/Desktop/OLPC_XS_LATEST.iso

A usb key was in /dev/sdb1.  Then within Fedora:
 # umount /dev/sdc0
 # yum install livecd-tools
 # livecd-iso-to-disk /dev/scd0 /dev/fd0
 Copying live image to USB stick
 Updating boot config file
 Installing boot loader
 Can't set disk parameters for S: Invalid argument
 Cannot initialize 'S:'
 Bad target s:/ldlinux.sys
 syslinux: failed to create ldlinux.sys
 USB stick set up as live image!
 #

The errors above might be related to the fact that we ran this inside qemu.  Let's press on and hope for the best!
