Comment:

 I use my systems both at home and at other locations.  At home, my
 internet connection is through a proxy - but olpc-update does not itself
 support operation through a proxy.  And I don't want to be patching my
 kernel every time I leave home, plus every time I come back.  So I leave
 my kernel set as if there were no proxy, and use olpc-update manually,
 only when visiting other locations.

 My question - if I define an *empty* /security/oats-server file, will that
 tell olpc-update-query to not bother to check for updates ?[[BR]][I
 already have 'none' in /security/update-stream, but on 8.2.x olpc-update-
 query still seems to be doing things periodically.]
