The reason I posted to 'devel' was to publicize that there seem to 
be OLPC systems on which the "ok" prompt does __not__ show up.


[Are you saying that *unless* the owner installs a developer key, 
the "ok" prompt on his system is deactivated ?  If so, perhaps the 
top section of that wiki page ought to be clarified.  I had thought 
that page as describing who should be using the autoreinstallation 
process, *not* as describing whether the "ok" prompt would show up.]

[I was looking on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_the_firmware, 
in the 'Manual upgrade' section.  Didn't notice any mention there of 
'software developers' being the only ones to need the "ok" prompt.]
