I just discovered a nice feature of rawhide nightly builds
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/education/
======================================
test F12 for dd functionality
dd if=education-i386-20090917.16.iso of=/dev/sdg bs=4k
402432+0 records in
402432+0 records out
1648361472 bytes (1.6 GB) copied, 233.045 s, 7.1 MB/s
======================================
to a 4GB SD creates a bootable SD of gnome and F11.93
and a whole collection of educational apps.
Plus:sugar-emulator brings up sugar-desktop.
this is a live system so it corrupts if a full update is attempted.
Uses 63% of 4 GB SD.
Is this sugar on a stick?
or
Sugar Desktop plus Gnome on a stick.
It has live system and Fedora F12 but....
This one I am unsure of the answer. What do you think?

I'd like to say I see your point, but across the internet that's a
dangerous thing to say in the face of the somewhat amusing ambiguigty
of trying to talk about "that thing whose identity we can't agree
upon".
When I say "SoaS" I mean the direct result of the build process using
a version of the code contained in
http://cgit.sugarlabs.org/soas/mainline , which I believe a) is what
Sebastian Dziallas means by "SoaS", and b) what Chris Ball means by
"SoaS-Fedora". So let there be no ambiguity about that.
"SoaS" in this sense is something worked on by a few people but
clearly led by Sebastien and supported by a host of SL and non-SL
people.
If you wish to point out that "consensus of what SoaS is is lacking
amongst many people that haven't helped with SoaS (not Sugar) except
by perhaps proferring opinions about how it should be
built/used/marketed/designed", well, I can't think of much
constructive to say. There's a place for that consensus-building, but
it's not this thread.
If you wish to change the subject, let's change the subject line as is
customary.
I ... don't think we can leave Sugar LiveUSB to any distribution.
What is "Sugar LiveUSB"? Is it SoaS?
That's my question.
Ok, so the autistic answer is: Sugar LiveUSB does exist - or rather,
at least two things calling themselves that do. Look at the second
and third google hit for 'sugar live usb' (no quotes). A
I just tested this hour:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/images/iso/openSUSE-Sugar-live-unstable.i686-0.2.0-Build5.1.iso
it can be used as a CD with sugar 0.84.2 or as a live USB by doing the
command from root terminal:
==================
dd if=openSUSE-Sugar-live-unstable.i686-0.2.0-Build5.1.iso of=/dev/sdg
bs=4k

===================
you get a live usb of sugar in that much time!
this is still not Soas but "opensuse Live Sugar Desktop on a Stick"
(with 50 applications)
(cyberorg and nubae did this work.)
sugar-live-image-built-on-opensuse (I don't know the name) exists. I
am certain there are other
sugar-live-image-built-from-some-big-linux-distros but also don't know
their names. A quick google search shows a number of promising
results.
"What is SoaS?" is either tautological or confusing. I appreciate
that some of the implications I think you want to raise are issues
that can be usefully discussed but I think if we attempt to fork off a
broad discusion from a specific and big discussion and cover wide
stretches of unfamiliar ground no constructive progress is going to be
made. So let's discuss precise questions in the appropriate forums.
So far Strawberry (and it's variants, successors) is the only
LiveUSB environment that I know of that makes Sugar the default UI
I mention some others above.
If someone takes any of a number of other LiveUSB environments and
makes Sugar the default, will that be SoaS (but not Strawberry)[?]
Not at present as far as I'm concerned. I'm not anybody with much of
a claim to that name, but I suspect even those that do would answer
the same.
Maybe Sugoppix? :-)
Heh.
I hope that I have clarified somewhat.
Thanks. Likewise.
