Hers (full):
0c3deafeab44a959a0e2e18c5c2092e9
60ab7dd13168405e4f9207c48a452a5a

Mine (not full):
5cb011fd465a5793ce12df8064f6790d
60ab7dd13168405e4f9207c48a452a5a

Her /home/olpc/ is actually smaller than mine (350MB vs 435MB)

My theory is this: I have run olpc-update more often on my machine, so  
there are fewer differences between the active OS and the fallback  
one.  On hers, for instance, the fallback OS still has /usr/share/ 
activities/ with a full set of G1G1 2007 activities while mine doesn't.

If my theory is correct, then maybe she can run olpc-update to go back  
to something just prior to 767 and then forward to 767 again... does  
olpc-update let you go backwards?
