Comment:

 {{{
 The school server should be able to shut down after pressing a key or a
 set of keys. Right now in Arahuay the screen displays a line saying
 something like this: Please press 'S' to shut down after 'S' was pressed
 then another message appears: Please, wait 10 minutes and then press the
 button of the red arrow for 6 seconds.

 Notes: we had to draw an arrow pointing to the correct button.

     then we disabled the extra button (the rebooting one)

 }}}

 This is a known problem with the existing prototypes.  The XS school
 server won't have this problem.


 {{{
 Sometimes, when the system is starting, it doesn't recognize one of the
 antennas, so, someone has to be looking at the booting carefully,...to re-
 start again the server, and then have all the antennas showing up.

 maybe a message can appears on screen saying something like "reboot me"
 when the system detects that one antenna is missing, specially if they are
 all well connected into the server.
 }}}

 This is a known problem with the mesh antennas (logged as #981) which was
 fixed in software on the laptops, but will require a hardware modification
 on the eval modules (used in current prototype Active Antennas).   This
 will be fixed in future Active Antennas through the addition of a power-on
 reset chip.


 {{{
 Is there a way that people from Peru can also do a tunnel to the servers?
 so they can help from Lima, too?
 }}}

 Generic tunneling is being worked on.  Will be available ASAP.  But OLPC
 must be notified of any modifications to the server software or
 configuration at this point.

 {{{
 The antenna's cable is too short. One antenna was brought back to Lima to
 look how to make it longer.
 }}}

 5m is the limit.  One of the Active Antennas shipped might have had a 3m
 cable.  We will try to ensure that others being shipped out have 5m
 cables.


 {{{
 Documentation is required.
 }}}

 I have been requesting a documentation person since the day I started.
 The powers-that-be at OLPC haven't been listening to me.
