 Hi Scott,

 How about this for the 8.1.1 release notes:
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_Notes/8.1.1#What.27s_the_recommended_way_to_upgrade.3F

 "When upgrading from build 656 or earlier releases via olpc-update (add
 URL), if you decide to revert back after upgrading (see:
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Support_FAQ#How_can_I_restore_my_Give1Get1_XO_to_its_factory_configuration.3F)
 you will not have access to the su (Super User) account in the terminal
 activity."

 Let me know if that conveys the correct info and I can add it to the
 release notes.

 Also, let me know which release this affects (e.g. from nnn and to mmm).
 Does it affect 656 to 708? How about 703 to 708?

 Thanks,

 Greg S
