"openSUSE Education team is proud to present openSUSE-Edu Li-f-e (Linux for Education) based on openSUSE 12.3.
The image is a "hybrid" iso image, the same image can be used to burn a Live DVD or to create a Live USB stick.
This release includes carefully selected software for students, educators as well as parents.
The software selection encompasses everything required to make computers productive for either home or educational use without having to install anything additional.
The Live DVD contains KIWI-LTSP server that can be enabled even by non-technical user, it comes bundled with tons of useful applications from openSUSE Education, Build Service and Packman repositories.
With the KIWI-LTSP server you can PXE(network) boot other PCs to use this live DVD without installing or modifying anything on them. Booting from hard disk again will leave those PCs as they were.
(Please note that running LTSP from Live DVD/USB is meant for demo/testing purpose only, install on the hard disk to use it in production). "

Some other problems are:
1. DrGeoII failed to start.
2. Cursor in Story Builder does not display properly.
3. Speak runs a bit slow. (not sure if it is a problem)
4. Record failed to record audio.
5. Jukebox failed to play audio.

Create multi boot USB stick with whole iso/s on vfat/fat32 partition

run this command as root (su -, not sudo)
  live-fat-stick isopath stickpartition
e.g.: 
  live-fat-stick /home/geeko/openSUSE-Edu-li-f-e-12.2-1-i686.iso /dev/sdXY
To add Ubuntu iso to the stick, run the following:
   export distroname=ubuntu
   live-fat-stick /path/to/ubuntu-filename.iso /dev/sdXY
isopath should be full absolute path of iso image and the device should be 
actual partition on the stick like /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1,/dev/sdc2...
The stick partition has to be vfat/fat32 format.
run live-fat-stick -l to list the possible usb sticks available.
It is possible to boot multiple iso images from same stick, 
should work with all recent openSUSE or Ubuntu live iso images.

Instructions

Important, for VMX openSUSE Appliances:

openSUSE-Sugar-0.1.0-Build2.26.1.vmx
no password req to start
Password(root)=sugaruser
====================================
To reset SUGAR ENTIY:
(Clear out name, color, and Sugar Journal contents)
       <sugar terminal>
	rm -rf ~/.sugar
	su -
	password:sugaruser
	shutdown -h now
	restart sugar

INSTRUCTIONS ***VERY IMPORTANT!***
======================================
when you open this VM Appliance with VMPlayer for first time:
	use "I moved it"
	NO NOT click "I Copied it"
	Doing so generates a 2nd MAC id for the network card and leaves it as eth0
	not configured  (It will not work)
	clearing the /.sugar entity (see above) does not affect Mac address
	Nor does changing the color or name on the sugar control panel.

***** ALSO Do the following Right away after opening sugar for the first time:*****
*<sugar terminal>
	su -
 	Password:xxx (see above)
	yast2 sysconfig
	System>Sysconfig>Enable Sysconfig>(NO)
		(this locks out network reconfig)
	exit, shutdown, restart
 **(This seems to stop the autoconfiguration of openSUSE on restart)**

IF F1 Neighborhood is not connecting:

Try this First to start Network Manager:

<sugar terminal>

su -
password:xxx
rcnetwork restart
=============
NETWORKING FIX:
	(Networking Fix for loss of F1 Neighborhood:)
	<sugar terminal>
	su-
	Password:xxx (see above)
	yast2 lan 
	switch to non-Network Manager control
	Delete other network cards 
	configure DHCP 4 with hardware and eth0
	exit 

once you get networking to work;
	*<sugar terminal>
	su -
	Password:xxx (see above)
	yast2 lan
	select Network Manager
	exit
		(change to network manager for wireless configration)
then:
	*<sugar terminal>
	su -
 	Password:xxx (see above)
	yast2 sysconfig
	System>Sysconfig>Enable Sysconfig>(NO)
		(this locks out network reconfig)
	exit, shutdown, restart
