Conclusion to both issues that were killing us overnight, thanks to KevinG & All:<br>
<br>
<br>
1) Old habits die hard -- I erroneously believed the troublesome XO-1s had no <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developer_key" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/<u></u>Developer_key</a> as they did not boot with black/TTY scrolling kernel msgs etc. Hitting "Esc"-on-boot proved me wrong, causing the <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ok" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ok</a> prompt to appear.<br>
<br>
So Customization Sticks began to work, once we began holding down the lower game key ("X").on boot. In fact we now hold down the "X" game key on all XO-1s (secured or not) -- during every Customization Key auto-installation, simplifying our training of locals (Haitians).<br>

2) Our cheap 2GB Micro Center USB sticks work great for reflashing, but fail about 50% of the time as Customization Sticks, at random they are ignored completely during the boot process -- so we just keep trying (sometimes MANY times) until it finally works. In different USB ports for good luck. A royal pain in the A**, but elbow grease does the job, until one day higher quality USB sticks appear :/<br>
<br>
<br>
Aside: our XO-1s all contain build 883 and firmware Q2E48.</blockquote><div><br>Happy to hear. Also glad to hear you've picked 883. Solid release, great networking, great Sugar enhancements. <br><br>Cheers<br><br>
