When you run olpc-update to upgrade the software on your XO laptop, you lose some of your customizations (which I just did ). Here's what I've customized so I have a quick reference to get it all back next time. Set the timezone : su sugar-control-panel -s timezone 'America/Los_Angeles' Set a root password: su -l passwd This allows me to ssh to the XO (as root, I know, I know) which at least allows me to use my nice desktop keyboard and monitor to do most of the rest. I tried setting the user account password instead once, but it seems like Sugar wouldn't start after that. This page seems to indicate that you should be able to do that (now?) though. I'll have to try it again. Set up quake terminal (scroll down the page a bit). I keep a copy of the quake_terminal.txt file in my home directory on the laptop. To set it up I just do this: su -l cp /home/olpc/quake_terminal.py /usr/share/sugar/shell/view/quake.py Then apply this patch to /usr...

Often when I'm typing at the computer, like right now, my three-year old will come up to me and tell me to, "click on the monkey!" It took me a while, but I finally figured out what he was talking about: *click* For some reason he finds that to be pretty darn funny. Three years old and already a greasemonkey fan.
