Just some simple instructions for running the emulator for the OLPC project on Debian.

See the wiki at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Emulating_the_XO/Quick_Start/ for other OSes and distributions, although I’ve tried to make it even easier, and give you a little folder to put stuff in and give you the script for Debian.

Simply git clone this repository and run the script with the following line:

cd ~ && git clone git://github.com/zeller/olpc.git && cd olpc && ./qemu-olpc-debian.sh

This seems to require about 300MB of free space.

Note: If you don’t already have git, then you should get it first using sudo apt-get install git-core.
