FYI all versions of OLPC Release 8.2.x are based on Sugar 0.82

That includes desired Release 8.2.2 which you should test here:
http://dev.laptop.org/~martin/8.2.2-betas/

Specifically the 2 files you'll want to download are:

os802b5.crc <http://dev.laptop.org/%7Emartin/8.2.2-betas/os802b5.crc>
os802b5.img <http://dev.laptop.org/%7Emartin/8.2.2-betas/os802b5.img>


Interested in 8.2.2's improvements over 8.2.1?  Start reading here:
