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). "

*In VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine of openSUSE
To reset SUGAR ENTIY:
+
:Use existing HD
(Clear out name, color, and Sugar Journal contents)
+
:find sugar.i686-0.2.0.vmx and vmdk
        <sugar terminal>
+
*settings/processor [x] Enable PAE

*Announcement http://lizards.opensuse.org/2012/09/14/announcing-the-release-of-opensuse-edu-li-f-e-12-2/  05:18, 14 September 2012 (EDT)
when you open this VM Appliance with VMPlayer for first time:
+
*Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opensuse-edu/files/latest/download?source=files
use "I moved it"
+
=====live-fat-stick=====
NO NOT click "I Copied it"
+
*https://github.com/cyberorg/live-fat-stick
Doing so generates a 2nd MAC id for the network card and leaves it as eth0
+
:Download: https://github.com/cyberorg/live-fat-stick/blob/master/live-fat-stick
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:
+
*Create multi boot USB stick with whole iso/s on vfat/fat32 partition
*<sugar terminal>
+
run this command as root (su -, not sudo)
  su -
+
  live-fat-stick isopath stickpartition
  password:xxx
+
e.g.:
  rcnetwork restart
+
  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:
NETWORKING FIX:
+
    export distroname=ubuntu
(Networking Fix for loss of F1 Neighborhood:)
+
    live-fat-stick /path/to/ubuntu-filename.iso /dev/sdXY
<sugar terminal>
+
isopath should be full absolute path of iso image and the device should be
su-
+
actual partition on the stick like /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1,/dev/sdc2...
Password:xxx (see above)
+
The stick partition has to be vfat/fat32 format.
yast2 lan
+
  run live-fat-stick -l to list the possible usb sticks available.
switch to non-Network Manager control
+
  It is possible to boot multiple iso images from same stick,
Delete other network cards
+
  should work with all recent openSUSE or Ubuntu live iso images.
configure DHCP 4 with hardware and eth0
+
=====Liveinstall to USB=====
exit
+
*Boot DVD - choose liveinstall from desktop
 +
*'''15 GB Partiton required and 1 GB Ram.'''
 +
<cyberorg> IRC #opensuse-edu 09/10/2012:
 +
openSUSE-Edu Li-f-e DVD will have sugar on it, that will be available on sourceforge link [1]
 +
i hope to get it ready in a day or so

 +
sugar can be run on LTSP clients PXE booted off life as well, no need to install anything on the client you get lab full of sugar :)
 +
clients can be any PC/laptop with 512MB ram and lan capable of pxe

To add Ubuntu iso to the stick, run the following:
   export distroname=ubuntu

The stick partition has to be vfat/fat32 format.
