[Server-devel] OLPC Australia XS concerns

[HALL,Brian C]

Good Day All,


We are having issues installing the School Server ISO on a usb drive(since the school server doesnt have a cd drive). Is there a link i can use. I went to "http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Techniques_and_Configuration#Installing_from_USB" and tried mkusbinstall OLPC_XS_LATEST.iso /dev/sdb1
.

When i did that, i got the error: command not found.


Could you assist us with this?


Thanks in advance,
Brian Hall

This is one of ours in Jamaica. I shipped the boxes, and it looks like
Brian didn't get the instructions. I'll take care of it off list.

cheers,
