[2] Introduction (based on FL's "Getting started with the XO")<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I'm not too pleased with this text actually. It's legacy introduction that I don't really feel exemplifies the OLPC/Sugar project. A good intro belongs here with some great photos from Peru or Mongolia, but with new text.<br>

when shutting down an XO)</blockquote><div><br>A 'page' on the subject, or perhaps a half page in our hypothetical physical structure. I don't know the history of the iconic "Safety Precautions" nor how much they are based on reality. But I'm more than willing to be convinced otherwise.<br>

- power on (see link above)</blockquote><div><br>This is the beauty of FM's remixing. For first-boot documentation we can skip this section. Presumably someone will have figured this out if they can view the docs.<br>

version)<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I disagree for three reasons:<br>1.) Kids aren't going to grok or care<br>2.) We need to start talking about Sugar and the UI as soon as possible for people who are literally on their first boot<br>
3.) It's the wrong philosophical to focus on the hardware and secs instead of the experience. Also it brings up the opportunity for contrast with conventional machines in numbers that don't matter.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
