Hello!

man pages are not installed to save some space on the machines.  I
suppose the equivolent command would be to type 'man your_command'
into Google in Browse ;)

> 2) What's the password when i try to access the XO through SSH?

you need to set the root password before you can do this.  if you're
in the Terminal activity:
sudo passwd

should give you a prompt to set the new root password.  I've heard
that changing the user olpc's password can have unintended
consequences.  (not sure where this is documented, tho I think its on
the wiki somewhere

ifconfig works for me, or is there more you want to see?
