</div>The XS disk doesn't really include any of those. You can install them<br>
from online yum repositories after the initial install.<br>
<br>
Note that you _do not need mysql_. Moodle will work with PostgreSQL.<br>
For many reasons, PostgreSQL is a better option for the specific needs<br>
of the XS.<br>

If you want to use Moodle, grab the packages that will transform your<br>
0.5.2 into a 0.6-beta by doing<br>
<br>
yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update<br>
<br>
which will install a Moodle that autoconfigures itself. After that,<br>
upgrade the Browse.xo on the XOs and Moodle will auto-login users<br>
(that have registered).<br>

</div>The people active around the XS are mostly email-people rather than<br>
irc-people :-) ask here and we'll come to your help...<br>
