Here is a quick summary of installing a zd image on an XO-1.5:

The build is installed to the internal microSD device. You will need a 
USB drive of at least 1 GB capacity, but only for the duration of the
installation.

ALL USER DATA WILL BE ERASED FROM THE LAPTOP!

      * Prepare the USB drive: 
              * Download os361.zd, 
              * Save the file to the top directory of the USB drive, 
              * Download os361.zsp.fs.zip, 
              * Save the file to the top directory of the same USB
                drive, 
              * Download os361.sha1, 
              * Save the file to the top directory of the same USB
                drive, 
              * Verify the files using: sha1sum -c os361.sha1 
              * Rename the file to fs.zip, (removing the os361.zsp part
                of the name), 
              * Check the USB drive contains at least the two files
                fs.zip and os361.zd. 
      * Prepare the laptop: 
              * Make a copy of any data you wish to keep, 
              * Ensure the battery is in the laptop, 
              * Connect the laptop to external power, 
              * Turn off the laptop, unless it is already off. 
              * Insert the USB drive into any USB port on the laptop, 
      * Start installing: 
              * Hold down the "check mark"(tick) game key, 
              * Turn on the laptop, 
              * Wait for the message Release the game keys to continue, 
              * Release the game keys, 
              * Quickly press ESC (X) to get to the OFW prompt "ok",
              * Type: fs-update u:\os361.zd
              * Installation progress will be displayed. Green colour
                will fill grey blocks. It will take about ten minutes. 
              * Once finished remove the USB drive
              * Type: reboot
              * The XO might boot into flash mode, to install new
                firmware, do NOT power off the XO at this point, it
                should auto-reboot when done. 

I can put up the matching os361.usb file if anybody is interested in
testing out "olpc-update --usb".
