 A new version of the XO-LiveCD is available. 

 You can download it from:

   ftp://rohrmoser-engineering.de/pub/XO-LiveCD/XO-LiveCD_081106.iso

 This release is based on the ext3 image of the stable 8.2 branch, build 767. 
 The CD contains many activities, including all G1G1 activities.

   

Great!  I look forward to trying it out.
I've never been able to get a connection
to this site.  Is it possible to mirror it to
a (bzip2 compressed) copy on the wiki
at laptop.org?

 Main features:

* latest stable version of the sugar desktop
* large and customizable collection of activities
* expandable language support, already included are German, 
  French, and Spanish languages. 

 This XO-LiveCD project targets the main goals:

* Give children, students, teachers and parents
  the opportunity to participate and use the
  educational software on a common PC.

* Demonstration of OLPC/Sugar software to non-developers, you can also
  start the sugar desktop on Windows, Linux or MacOS using a
  Virtual Machine.
  
* For developers the CD provides an easy maintainable Live-System,
  which could be used to develop and test activities on the sugar desktop.

Wolfgang -- thanks for the detailed docs!

This is super cool.  We should look for a group who could print a
large number of them for us to send out to student  other groups to
celebrate the relaunch of g1g1.

1. I and someone else updated http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Live_CD , taking 
the opportunity to clean up some of the other Live CDs here.
2. I added this to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/LiveBackup_XO-LiveCD as well.
3. I updated the broken livecd link in 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Template:Latest_Releases (the green box on 
many wiki pages) to point to 2.

 You can download it from:
   ftp://rohrmoser-engineering.de/pub/XO-LiveCD/XO-LiveCD_081106.iso

(I suggest you use ISO 8601 date format in the future.  081106 looks 
like August 11th 2006 to us clueless North Americans, 2008-11-06 has 
no ambiguity for anyone anywhere.  Also, release notes as a 310kB PDF?!)

Dumb question: what is the difference between a .iso and a .img file 
like http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/custom/g1g1/gg-767-4/gg-767-4.img ? 
  Can you mechanically transform one into the other? 1. says copy [a 
.iso] to a prepared USB flash drive but presumably it's not that simple.

1. links to that, it also links to the sugar-jhbuild liveCD page 
http://www.sugarlabs.org/go/Live_CD , which the sugarlabs #Starch 
section doesn't mention.


I need to go to a trade show to get USB flash drives and SD cards for 
all these live CDs and Linux distros and SqueakNOS... :)
