[ANNOUNCE] Tiny Core Linux for XO-1 and XO-1.5

[James Cameron]

Announcing a build of Tiny Core Linux for XO-1 and XO-1.5 based on
OLPC development build os303 (leading up to release 10.1.2).

I've found this useful for testing and diagnosis without touching the
internal NAND or SD storage.


Features:

- based on Tiny Core Linux 3.0 microcore variant, configured for a
  single root shell in text mode,

- uses the OLPC kernel, for hardware support,

- includes the wireless firmware shipped with OLPC builds, and binary
  redistribution of wireless tools from the same builds,
