Redo First Boot?
I read in the online User's Guide that the first time the user turns on
their new XO the system will ask for the child's name, allow them to select
an icon color for the mesh display, and take their picture. Is this how the
G1G1 units work also, and is it possible to rerun this routine if the wrong
user turns the unit on the first time?
As I understand it, the G1G1 units will also work this way. Resetting the
name, color, and photo should be a matter of deleting a few files from the
"/home/olpc/.sugar/default" directory ("config" and "buddy-icon.jpg", I
believe). So it's currently a bit technical, but it's possible. Color and
nick might also be changeable via the command-line Sugar Control
Panel<http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_Control_Panel>,
and they are planned <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Requirements> to be in the
user interface control panel, which should make changing them easy. There i=
s
some (old) discussion on the subject of changing color, name, and photo on
the Sugar mailing
list<http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2007-May/002409.html>.

Change Laptop name/color
If you want to remove the name and color chosen, then, before you shutdown:
1. Alt+Ctl+Mesh
2. Login as root
3. cd /home/olpc/.sugar/default
4. rm config
5. rm owner.*
6. power off (to shut down)
If you want to change just the name:
1. Alt+Ctl+Mesh
2. Login as root
3. type 'nano /home/olpc/.sugar/default/config'
4. change the name in this file; then hit Ctl+X to exit and type 'yes'
to save
5. to test this, use Ctl+Alt+Erase for a quick reboot
6. hover over the XO and see that it has the new name.
7. power off
