just added instructions for installing from USB flash drive and
confirmed it works in OLPC 8.2.x.  What software release are you
running?

That also works fine for me in OLPC release 8.2.0/8.2.1. Make sure the
web server specifies the right mime type for .xol, see
<http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Creating_a_collection#Bundle_hosting>

That should happen automatically during content bundle installation in
OLPC releases with "OLPC Library" as the Browse home page, see
<http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Library#Developers:_How_it_works>.  Are you
running a different language?  Maybe it doesn't work in other
languages.

This feature doesn't work in Sugar Labs releases,
http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/574 filed. (My understanding is Sugar
Labs plans unification of library and Journal and/or a dedicated
Library activity).

Hope this helps,
