Test group,

Please follow the instructions below to modify the .fth file to upgrade WITH
backup capability. This has not gotten a lot of testing, so it would be good
if the upgrades we do include the backup and restore feature. It is more
important to get a unit from an older version to 542 using the upgrade
feature as that is what we expect to happen in the field.

Use the instructions from the autoinstallation page,
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Autoreinstallation_image

To upgrade *with* backup, edit the olpc.fth file to change 'false' to 'true'
in line 11 (*true constant do-usb-upgrade*). The USB key must be large
enough to hold both the image to be installed and any and all files the user
may have created in /home/OLPC.

Thanks,
Kim
