Right now I think the only way is to run a command on a Fedora box. Something like this. livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 512 livecd-fedora-livecd-sugar-200810091224.iso /dev/sdb1 There is also a tool for Windows, Sebastian is working on getting it to work. >> > Boot Helper CD >> >> Do you have any pointer about this?

Note that Sugar requires a special jabber server. I'm ccing morgs which could give you more informations on this. It's also possible to collaborate without a server on the local network, but it doesn't scale much. Still could be a way to at least show the collaboration features. > Longer term, I have a vision of having hundreds of middle and high school > developed country service+technology oriented kids with Sugar.

I had more or less your same vision when I read your blog post :) Marco _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
