Upgrade G1G1 using autoreinstallation method

[David Leeming]

Thanks - solved. It's all there on the wiki, yes (blush). We have a lot of
time pressures imposed by the political realities here, with 20+ countries
each with their own government and process to go through, etc. I do
appreciate your help! 

Do you also know about access points, it was stressed at the Countries
meeting in Boston that 30+ XOs in one classroom do not collaborate very
efficiently and the preferred method is to use an AP to enable
collaboration/sharing in the classroom, even if there is no Internet access.
We have had some D-Link DWL2100 APs sent to us for this purpose and what
happens is that if there is no Internet connection the XOs do not associate
themselves persistently with the APs but "hang up" and go looking for the
mesh. Do you know anything about that?

Make sure it is the signed build (called "703" not "update.1-703"),  
and remember you need an activity pack, too. See here:
