i would definitely advise against trying to use the standard emulation images, as they take some work to get running. I would advise instead either building from source using sugar-jhbuild or installing the sugar and activity packages from jani's personal archive. try the second option first, following the instruuctions found here: http://janimo.blogspot.com/2007/11/try-sugar-xo-laptops-interface.html and here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~jani/+archive if that doesn't seem to work for you, you can build sugar yourself without too much trouble; in a terminal first execute the following: sudo apt-get remove sugar sudo apt-get build-dep sugar then follow the build instructions from the olpc website: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_on_Ubuntu_Linux http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild you may need to apt-get install git to get things started. email back if you have trouble. good luck, matt > _______________________________________________ > Sugar mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar -- Matt Price [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
