OLPC Debian Jessie installation instructions

-----Debian Jessie for OLPC XO-1-----
I used a VM, so I made a folder called "debroot" instead of mounting a drive because VirtualBox is a POS.

mkdir ~/debroot

debootstrap --arch i386 jessie debroot http://http.us.debian.org/debian/

mount -o bind /dev debroot/dev
mount -o bind /proc debroot/proc
mount -o bind /sys debroot/sys
mount -o bind /tmp debroot/tmp
cp /etc/resolv.conf debroot/etc/resolv.conf
chroot ${MP}
Replace your sourcelist with this (edit the mirrors if you don't live in the US):
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
apt-get update
echo "(your hostname)" > /etc/hostname
put the same hostname into /etc/hosts (add it next to where it says "localhost")
dpkg-reconfigure locales, select your locale

apt-get install wpasupplicant rpm2cpio wget acpid acpi olpc-kbdshim olpc-powerd olpc-xo1-hw

adduser olpc

apt-get install xserver-xorg lxde                   Choose a desktop environment. I used Openbox, rather than a DE, but that's a more advanced choice.

xserver-xorg and lxde bring in 137 mb of download! includes chromium-browser

wget http://dev.laptop.org/~kernels/public_rpms/f20-xo1/kernel-3.10.0_xo1-20130716.1755.olpc.c06da27.i686.rpm

mkdir /lib/firmware
cd /lib/firmware
wget -O usb8388.bin http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/libertas/usb8388-5.110.22.p22.bin

create a file /boot/olpc.fth with these lines:

\ Debian Jessie for XO
visible
" ext:\boot\initrd.img" to ramdisk
" ext:\boot\vmlinuz" to boot-device
" console=tty0 fbcon=font:SUN12x22 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1" to boot-file
boot

make a swapfile
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile BS=1M count=512
mkswap /swapfile

replace the contents of /etc/fstab with this:

/dev/mmcblk0p1  /         ext4    defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro  0 0
/swapfile none  swap    sw              0       0
devpts     /dev/pts  devpts  gid=5,mode=620   0 0
tmpfs      /dev/shm  tmpfs   defaults,size=50m         0 0
proc       /proc     proc    defaults         0 0
sysfs      /sys      sysfs   defaults         0 0
/tmp            /tmp            tmpfs         rw,size=50m 0 0
vartmp          /var/tmp        tmpfs         rw,size=50m 0 0
varlog          /var/log        tmpfs         rw,size=20m 0 0

Add vm.swappiness=5 to the end of /etc/sysctl.conf, to limit wear on the sd card
exit the chroot

Restart your computer (or VM), and copy the folder onto an SD card (or just tar it up, put it on Dropbox, and wget it onto the SD card from the XO). Delete the SD card's /etc/modprobe.d folder and copy the one from your internal OLPC OS installation onto the SD card.
