at which step in the directions did the error message appear?<br>

fs.zip is a security bundle, needed only for updating a system with
security enabled. fs.zip does not contain any actual filesystem
data; instead, it contains a much-shorter list of hash values that
represent the actual data, and a signature that authenticates that
hash list.<br>
<br>
fs.img is for XO-1 only. It contains raw data that goes verbatim
into the internal NAND FLASH inside the XO-1.<br>
<br>
fs.crc, for XO-1 only, contains a list of check values that
represent the data in fs.img. Its purpose is to catch corrupted
fs.img files, which sometimes happen due to download problems or USB
stick errors. The checksum algorithm in fs.crc (CRC-32) is much
weaker than the hash algorithm used in fs.zip. CRC-32 is good
enough to catch accidental file corruption, but not strong enough to
prevent a determined attack.<br>
<br>
fs.zd is a new format that was introduced for XO-1.5. It combines
checking (via the strong hash code) and the actual filesystem image
data in one file, with explicit compression to shrink the file to a
manageable size. It was necessary to come up with a new format
because XO-1 and XO-1.5 have very different internal storage. XO-1
uses raw NAND FLASH that is formatted with the JFFS2 filesystem
layout, while XO-1.5 uses a micro-SD card that emulates a hard disk,
formatted with the same ext2/ext4 filesystem layout. JFFS2
filesystem data is already internally compressed, so there is no
need for explicit compression. That is not the case for ext2
filesystem data, so the compression had to be explicit in the .zd
file format.<br>
<br>
The fs.zip files for XO-1 and XO-1.5 are similar, but not
identical. For XO-1, fs.zip contains hash values suitable for
checking fs.img. For XO-1.5, fs.zip contains hash values too, but
their format is different, being suitable for checking fs.zd.<br>
