 When running olpc-update in Terminal, it tells me I need to be root.  When
 I become root, olpc-update is no longer in my path (as it doesn't include
 /usr/sbin).  Is there a reason for this, or should we be exporting better
 settings to make access to olpc-specific  (and potentially other) commands
 more convenient.
