OS image build 76 is available now, and contains many new features,
some of which are:
* is bootable from NAND with LinuxBIOS
* "amd" EZA X driver is now included, but not used by default.
To use, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, changing "fbdev" to "amd".
* The wireless driver is now included, and works. To use,
download the firmware from:
https://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=160&pId=38
and put on the image as /lib/firmware/usb8388.bin.
* sugar now works again
* choose "OLPC for devboard target" in grub if booting the board.
Some issues we've noticed on IRC so far:
* vesafb isn't in the kernel (why not?), so qemu doesn't work.
* no /dev/mtd0 when booted through Insyde, so can't write to NAND;
/dev/mtd0 *does* appear when booted through LinuxBIOS, though.
* "amd" X driver has some problems. A photo:

* warnings appear on boot:
* failed to open /dev/md0: no such device or address
* warning: can't open /etc/mtab: no such file or directory
