Thanks Martin, this is nice work.
I'm not a particularly good writer but I wonder if we can keep the
simplicity of what you have an incorporate some additional concepts behind
why we care about portability.
Like the OLPC model, and in contrast to the way most schools currently

Due to a typo in the Makefile the file that was supposed to be called

FYI the .vmdk in soas04.zip halts with no text right after GRUB
starts. Any suggestions for kernel parameters to try? Strawberry was

I was thinking more in the context of Sugar on a Stick booting a PC or netbook.
There is a vast amount of preexisting educational content for children
in Flash and we need to be able to tell teachers and parents what to
expect. Carlo sees what I mean.
The command line is terrifying for nongeeks,
Well the procedure would be simple enough.
rpm -ivh http://location-too-repo-rpm-file
yum install packages needed.
I think, particularly on the XO-1, that flash is a bit heavy and that
html 5 with open formats would work better.

Can someone remind me please how Flash content is supported in Sugar
on a Stick? Is Gnash in there, or needs to be added? I imagine the
Adobe plugin would need to be added by hand. I'm not sure we mention
what if anything stick preparers need to do to view online Flash
content?
thanks
