[Server-devel] XS 0.6 preview

[Martin Langhoff]

At last! We have an XS 0.6 preview to play with. If you look at

    http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/other/

you'll find an iso (usual anaconda installer) and an img.gz. The iso
is the usual Anaconda deal. The img file can be dd'd into an SD card,
and it will Just Boot on an XO -- see notes @
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS-on-XO

The installation process is significantly simplified. On first boot
(from either install method), you need to issue:

   /etc/sysconfig/olpc_scripts/domain_config <your base domain>

and restart. That's it, no more fiddling with ejabberd.

(Actually, I lie -- for Squid to work properly you'll want to set
/etc/sysconfig/network properly. Hope to fix that soon.).
