Previously this was possible by changing the file /home/olpc/.sugar/default.favorite_activities However in the current stable release this no longer works. If the file is changed, it is replaced with the default list on restart. Is there another mechanism available to achieve this in the current release? Thanks in advance.

Kernel RPMs now auto-install to boot partition
Hi, Found some time to implement something that has been desired for a while: now when you install a kernel RPM on the XO, it will additionally auto-install to the boot partition, so now you can just install a new kernel RPM with rpm/yum and reboot and expect it to be used, no additional steps needed. The root of this strange behaviour (installing kernels twice) is due to the design of the update system, there might be room to improve on this in future as well, but at least this detail will now be less annoying to developers.

[Server-devel] XSCE 0.2 - Network problems running xs-setup
Hello: I ran into a few problems when trying to install the XSCE 0.2. I downloaded the repo and installed, during the installation process i got this messages, but apparently everything was installed correctly. http://pastebin.com/srwDn6wX I'm running in a HP DV4 laptop with Fedora 17 (security spin, i'm downloading the std version), it's connected to the internet with the wi-fi, and during xs-setup, connection is lost for some time (20-30 secs aprox), it stops and starts Networkmanager apparently, but is long enough for the script to fail at downloading the required software, and installation fails. I think is during xs-setup-network http://pastebin.com/7YTFHLL7 I'll be poking around to see if I can connect to internet with a cable, or pehaps give it a sleep to the script before downloading, if you could point me into wich file should i change. cheers -- Rodolfo D.

It takes some time because the conection is wi-fi and it takes a long time to negotiate the conection, the is restored a couple seconds before the scripts exists. The ideal would be to check if connection is up and then continue, with a simple ping to the previously found gateway should work and timeout after 2 minutes or so. DHCP servers on most routers are fast enough for that window of time with cable connections, but wireless could take a while. 2 minutes is more than enough.
