Comment:

 I normally run with joyride as the primary build on my XOs and 767 as the
 alternate build.  Sometimes the new (0.83) joyride builds fail to boot
 (but not at initial install time - only on some subsequent reboot).  My
 customary recourse is to re-install joyride (with olpc-update, run from
 767).

 However, the 767 'olpc-update' can get an assert error.  What I do then is
 to remove from /versions/run those directories that are not in
 /versions/pristine.  After I have done so, 'olpc-update' runs and installs
 what I wanted.
