12.1.0 on XO-1 customization stick

[Tony Anderson]

Hi,

If I understand this:

1. Get a developer key for each laptop in the school.
2. Use the developer key to unlock each laptop.
3. Do a normal install of the build image.
4. Relock the laptop by removing the developer key on the XO

Still a bit complex, but should be usable.

Tony
