Activities/Toaster: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:22, 9 November 2009

This activity will create USB sticks (like Sugar on a Stick) and will create a CD or DVD disc from an .iso image. The goal is to allow kids or anyone walking up to an XO-1 in book mode to select and create a bootable USB stick or disc.

A CD or DVD drive connected via USB is anticipated when using an XO-1. Collaboration is encouraged as we get the project going. You can provide input here, as bug reports (soon) or as code. Inspiration for this project derives from the Freedom Toaster.
