[OLPC-NYC] what to do differently next time

[Marife Mago]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for this insight.  Would you like to take note some of this in a
wiki.  I believe if we document this, it will be a great resource for some
initial  small deployments, who doesn't have yet the expertise or skills to
do this.

Of course, if you can make George's wish come true of a nice clear video of
the step by step XO reflashing that would be awesome.

BTW: I can just physically give to you a screw driver, I still need a lot of
XO to fix before I can grant your wish.

Also, another thing to include on the steps is  how to execute the command
in the XO console 'like where and what they should type in' to know if the
wifi is working or not.

Let me know your thoughts on this.  If my time permits I'll start a wiki
page that can be included as one of the project of OLPC_NYC.  Takers are
welcome.  :)
