Thank you.  This is indeed what seems to be happening.

[I guess this is one situation where a "smart" tool reaches a 
more-difficult-to-use conclusion than a "dumb" human.]

Tried it for the fun of it but there was something wrong with the 
downloaded files.  In any case, OLPC has released a newer-yet build 
which I've now installed, instead of fooling with upgrading the old 
build.

Thank you for your assistance and explanation,  mikus
