I found a nice little side effect of the journal multi-select feature
on One Education OS 1 and Dextrose 3: you can use it to install many
activity and content bundles at once.

Here's how you do it:

  1. pack a USB drive with many bundles
  2. insert it into an XO
  3. in the USB journal view select all the bundles
  4. use the Copy option on the toolbar to copy to the journal

The files are copied and the bundles are installed in one go. You can
delete the bundles from the journal afterwards.
