I tried to do the update....

Here's the results

-bash-3.2# olpc-update 650

Downlaoding contents of build 650.
@Error unknown module 'build-650':md5 mismatch for build 650
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
main.c(1383) [receiver=2.6.9]

Could not download update contents file from:
  rsync://updates.laptop.org/build-650/contents
I don't think the requested build number exists.
