=== OLPC/Sugar as Webserver ===
 
 
*Open Terminal and type the following to install Boa (approx. 100k)
 
 
su -
 
yum -y install boa
 
 
*Now put your index.html in /var/www
 
*Find your Sugar Computer/XO's IP Address. Still as root user (having entered su- already), enter into Terminal:
 
 
ifconfig
 
 
*Look next to eth0 for 192.168.whatever (for example)
 
*Go to another machine on your LAN and type your Sugar Computer/XO's IP Address into your browser.  There's your Sugar computer serving up a web page!
 
 
===Taking Screen Shots===
 
 
To take a screen shot, typing Alt+1 at the same time will take one and store it in your journal.
 
 
====Changing the "XO Guy"====
 
To change the XO Guy, the symbol in the middle of the Home view (with applications opening around him/her), you have to follow a few steps:
 
 
*'''Create An Icon''' - You first have to make an icon image and save it as an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file with the name computer-xo.svg. Probably on your Mac or Windows machine. There are instructions on how to do this [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Making_SVG_Icons_for_Sugar on the OLPC wiki].
 
*'''Transfer It To Your Computer''' - Copy computer-xo.svg to a USB or SD card and plug it into your OLPC or computer.
 
*'''Install it''' - Open Terminal and type the following commands to back-up the original icon and copy your new icon into the correct location:
 
 
su -l
 
cp /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg.bak
 
cp /media/<your usb or sd>/computer-xo.svg /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg
 
 
*Now close terminal and press Ctrl,Alt,Erase.
 
 
 
'''Restoring Icon To Original'''
 
 
To restore computer-xo.svg back to the original, open terminal and type:
 
 
su -l
 
cp /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg.bak /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg
 
rm /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg.bak
