First thing I did was upgrade my unit to the 4.0 firmware and change the wallpaper, then I deleted software I was never going to use. Thing I realized right away was that this unit couldn't handle large PDFs so I used Calibre to convert a ton of PDFs to Epub. I've got a no-name 16GB SDHC card I got off a Chinese vendor on eBay for $20, it works perfectly.
Here are a few code hints for anyone who needs them. Having hacked an LXDE centered distro onto two OLPC laptops I've had a lot of previous experience with it.
If you want to edit the unit's clock, change the
%R value to
%r and this will give you the standard 12 hour format complete with am/pm.
to add a super user password
sudo su
passwd root
<password>
sudo usermod -d /root root
And to change the unit's name, the default is "Mojo".
sudo su
leafpad /etc/hostname (opens file with text editor leafpad)
fill in your desired hostname to rename unit
save and close leafpad
sudo -k (kill super user mode)
close terminal
My unit's apps. I wanted to replace Abiword with
Ted but there's no way to do it right now.
apt-get update
apt-get install userinfo
apt-get install audacious
apt-get install orage
apt-get install tinyirc
apt-get install streamtuner
apt-get install gpodder
apt-get install mirage
apt-get install comix
apt-get install epdfview
apt-get install flite
apt-get install mtpaint
apt-get install gparted
apt-get install samba
apt-get install pysol
apt-get remove claws-mail
apt-get remove transmission
apt-get remove evince
apt-get remove sonata
apt-get autoremove
I've been probing and fine tuning this thing for almost two weeks now, and I love it. I'll wait to see how stable the Mer builds get and then upgrade to Mer. I was able to get in touch with one of the Handheld Mojo devs and that distro is pretty much dead, Mer is the only option I see with the flexibility I want.
