This configures a cache manager page using Apache (haven't
payed any attention to this --- should probably disable)

No idea where this came from

This is the squid configuration file

Configuration files that are part of the xs-config package
are linked into place.

That is a mistake that should have been fixed in newer xs-config  
packages.
Remove it.

Your next problem will probably be a need to `mkdir /library/cache;  
chmod a+w /library/cache`.

The problem after that will be pulling it all together.
Take a look at these scripts:
http://xs-dev.laptop.org/wad/TURN_SQUID_ON
http://xs-dev.laptop.org/wad/TURN_SQUID_OFF

You will also need to place this file:
http://xs-dev.laptop.org/wad/iptables.principal.cache
into /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/  before running the above
scripts.
