Re: [SoaS] Plans for SoaS v9
I realize that this is not merely a whishlist, but I would like to see added to the SoaS all other packages that are also present in the OLPC 12.1 build. I noticed just recently (because i haven't been using my XO for a while) that the standard OLPC build has the gnome (and desktop switcher) and several applications for it installed allong with the Sugar envirment. It basically adds more packages, and I understand that it makes it harder to maintain, but it seems to me that it would be good to have the same enviroment for the SoaS as for the OLPC desktop. This was probably discussed before, but i would think that providing the same enviroment could help spread Sugar to a regular more wider audience of i686 (or x86_64) bit desktop or notebook/netbook owners.

The plans for SoaS v9 are going to be somewhat simple. We're going to stick with the 0.98.x release of Sugar and focusing on polish. I would like to see more people testing and using it during the dev cycle so I don't get the My Activity is broken post release or five minutes before release when we're generating final images and pushing them out to the Fedora mirrors. I would also like to remove sugar-presence-service but that would mean either dropping eToys or the developers stepping up to actually fix the dependency that they've only been promising to do for 2 or so years. Is there anything in particular that people would like to contribute during this cycle? Anything I can help someone achieve? Does anyone want to dig into the documentation on the web site to improve the process? I'd also love marketing to get involved since we've not had any publicity for a number of releases and after all Walter was telling me some time back that it's the biggest single driver in the wiki. Finally there's a Test Compose for the alpha available in the following link. I've used it briefly in a VM and it boots and seems to mostly work. http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-Alpha-TC1/Live/ I forget to mention for this cycle we'll also produce SoaS images to run on a number of ARM platforms. The first test of these should arrive around F-19 Beta. Peter ___ SoaS mailing list SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas -- Rodolfo D.

[SoaS] install soas to hard disk
Hello: I was writing in previous mails about installing sugar strawberry on a hard disk, and Thomas send me this instructions, but it's very hard for me to use a cd image of strawberry becuase I need an external cd-rom which i don't have.. i tried installing in a pendrive and running the zyx installer but it doens't work http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg00569.html is there another aproach to installing sugar strawberry on hard disk? I even tried to install fedora 12 and install sugar from repositories, but it has version 0.86 which doesn't work with record activity, that's why i chose strawberry to install cheers.. -- Rodolfo D.

Re: [SoaS] install soas to hard disk
Hello: Blueberry is a sugar version that _was_ not compatible with record activity in the ASLO repository, i'm not sure if that has changed, but the last time i tried record activity in blueberry.. it didn't work I find it very frustrating to have sugar 0.86 and not have the activities run in it. So i want to use a sugar (and fedora) version that _is_ compatible with activities. cheers.. R 2010/3/18 Walter Bender walter.ben...@gmail.com On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 11:16 AM, Rodolfo D.

Re: [SoaS] Installing SoaS to USB MSD using Linux
Hello: I have been using soas on hard disk install and pendrives with no problem there is a section FOR GNU/LINUS USERS right after the windows install http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Blueberry perhaps you should read it again.. it has all the info there.. for redhat-based, debian-based and others happy hacking.. R 2010/2/23 smi...@zenzebra.mv.com Hello... I'm brand new to SoaS, and hoping to help a local school with it. But, before I do that, I need to figure out how to install SoaS so I can become familiar with it first. :) Can anyone explain how to install SoaS to a USB drive using Linux? The SoaS wiki appears to have executables for installing from Windows, but that doesn't help me. :( I'd imagine it'd be as simple as untarring a filesystem, changing a few config files, and partitioning correctly, but I can't find any instructions on how to do this. Help, anyone? ___ SoaS mailing list SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas -- Rodolfo D.
