OLPC (One Laptops Per Child) had released XO laptops to general public using "Buy 2 Get 1" G1G1: One laptop will be sent to the buyer and one laptop will be sent to a child in a poor developing country.
Unfortunately this AMD Geode LX laptop can't run ordinary DSL LiveCD:
1. There is no standard BIOS. 2. There is no VGA/CGA/EGA video mode. 3. Non standard booting procedure. 4. Nobody knows if XO can be booted from external USB CD-ROM drive. 5. Ordinary/off-the-shelf Linux distro cannot run on the XO laptops. Linux run on XO laptops with modified / patched kernel.
Is it possible to create a special DSL LiveCD for XO laptops? Who can do this project? Thank you.
