Sure. I'd make a root fs on an SD card, you can grab the kernel rpms
from http://dev.laptop.org/~martin/public_rpms/f13-arm/

And grab boot.fth from any recent img.

Currently the xo will favour an ext SD card for booting, so just place
it there, with /boot/olpc.fth and off it'll go.

Excellent news. If F14 is progressing, then focus on that. I don't
_actually_ care about F13 except as a step to get us there :-)

I haven't pushed stuff out but look if you want into
koji2.laptop.org:/home/martin/src/olpc-os-builder

It's rather messy -- cjb had to force quite a few things, and I am
undoing them as I get through. The resulting history is horrid and
forgettable.

If we have a reasonably-complete F-14 soon, I'll just rebase the
remaining interesting changes on top of OOB's master.
