I just used a booted 2GB USB [1] of Trisquel 4.5.1-sugar to download Tux
Paint 5.0 from ASLO.
It works fine. Tux Paint 5.0 took about 2 minutes to download and one
has to be patient as it downloads.
I monitored the download progress in the sugar journal. As the ASLO
countdown timer seems to run to zero too rapidly.
I suggest either method[1] or [2].

downloaded however) [1]

I have not tried Downloading Tux Paint 5.0 to this form of USB, ATM but
will do so and report as a follow up.

I can send funds for 50 to 60. If you need a few more, let me know. 10 from
these will be for the contest with Tuxpaint loaded but preferably tux4kids.
How to send the funds?
Let me investigate.

How much are they? For the contest we need 10 to 15. I will try and come
up
with funds for more that than the 15 so you can have some around.
I'd have to look into pricing again. As I recall, it was on the order
of $10 each last time.

Dear Walter
We are have a drawing contest for kids using Tuxpaint.org sponsored
by
my
company Worldlabel.com The top prizes will be a OLPC laptop. We also
really
want to give out USB with Suger on a stick. Depending on how we can
get
then
and how much they cost, upto 20 of them. The contest should be fun.
I was hoping you could help me find a source for the Sugar on a Stick
with
Sugarlab logo on them? It would be highly appreciated.
I don't think they are available. We made 100 for the original launch
and gave them all away. I'd love to make more, actually.
We'll have to make sure that Tuxpaint is on the stick -- the default
download comes with very few activities :(
If you could also help us get the news out when the contest is
launched,
that would also be great..
Sure. Just send me the details when you know them.
Thank you so much
Sincerely
Russell
