Re: [SoaS] PDF of proposed new contents of SugarCreationKit DVD - (A rearrangement of content +)

This looks really good, but I would like to see more items starting with "How to." for all the "teacher-types" out there. Let's make it really easy for them to embrace Sugar by including clear, easy to understand instructions and making them easy to find. Caryl Date: Sun, 6 Jun 2010 06:17

[SoaS] Summary of eBooks lists... Thanks to all who contributed.

Hi All, A few days ago I asked for links to sites with free digital textbooks. Thanks to all who sent links. I thought it would be a good idea to put them all in one place and share them with you all. (I'm sorry the formatting of this page seems to have a mind of its own!) >From Tabitha Rode

Re: [SoaS] Proposed feature for Soas-v4 : Remixability

Hi Tom, I love this idea! (I hope it would also include easier SoaS creation on the Mac.) When I lent some of my "Roadshow" library machines to the University of Montana education department to help them prep for a science project, I downloaded a lot of stuff not already there (eg Bridge, Sta

Hi All... I'm back to the world camp Grandma and Grandpa has ended for the summer after lots of fun hiking, swimming, playing card games and Monopoly, doing cooking and crafts, playing music, pulling weeds, building a square-foot garden, dealing with sibling rivalries, etc. Now I'm tryin

Re: [SoaS] Request for comments: A Proposed way to report Soas tests

Hi Tom and all... You have done a great job organizing this. The only thing I would suggest is adding something for Mac testers, maybe a separate chart, that refers to the method (and version of the method) they are using... Virtual Box or boot-helper CD or something else if something else wil

Re: [SoaS] [IAEP] [MARKETING] Get Sugar landing page

Hi... I have been advocating for SoaS to run on both Intel and PowerPC platforms all along. I think Sugar Labs has done pretty well with getting it up and running on the Intel machines and should continue working in that direction. At the same time, there are still a lot of the old PowerPC Ma

Re: [SoaS] Neat info on EeePC and fedora compatability

Hi... I bought a refurb eeePC to use with SoaS and for creating SoaS drives (I am a Mac person). Yesterday I was trying to free up some space on the drive so I could download something large. Now I can't connect to the net. It says I am missing some part of my "Firewall settings." I can't fi

[SoaS] Boot SoaS on Windows machines? Help!

Hi It has been about 6 mos since I last ran SoaS on my eeePC. I am a "Mac person." I can't remember how to get Sugar running on the PC. I have tried a lot of different things... alt, ctrl, ctrl-c, ctrl-d, F2, ctrl-alt, and so forth. Nothing works. I tried opening Windows first and then acc

Hi All This is great news! I will work on learning to do this when I get back to SoCal in Dec. Then I can share it with others at presentations, visits and the like. I really like the way Etoys-to-go can move from system to system. If this works even half as well, it will be big news. Caryl (a
