Since the upgrade, I've done a little more experimenting.
I can make it read and unmount cards. I can open documents and pdfs. As I suspected, the problem the first time was that the pdf I wanted to open was too big for the XO to be happy with.
mnemex said setting up swap space might help, but also that it would be useful if the XO could read cards in usb card readers. Well, in a terminal screen it can, but that doesn't help if I'm in the journal and it doesn't pick up the card in the reader.
I showed it to my brother today, and he had the same first reaction I did -- he said that it looked like an etch-a-sketch.
