ah, sorry i ment:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Olpc-update#Before_you_begin

it only lists links to joyride and stable versions, it does not even mention 
any of the 8.2-7xy family versions. It is confusing how the various olpc dev 
versions, candidates, releases relate, where to find them, and what is best 
to test.  Thanks for the link with diffs between them...

I have re-downloaded  8.2-754, it still has Sugar issues I do not see in 
joyride-2301, but eToys 15 minute test did not uncover any problems (refresh 
or otherwise). As a note, /usr/bin/etoys still has xshm enabled, does that 
mean it is disable on lower level?

Anyway I will update to 8.2-756 and do some more eToys testing. Will report 
issues if any.
