Updated: Added new activities from the sugar-devel list up to: 01/21/2012
  • Use as an off-line "sneaker net"- Download one time and have an off-line library of Sugar-activities on hand.
  • Burn the .iso file to a DVD.
To View tests and compatibility of some of the included Activities (works off-line) on the included Activity_Matrix web page;
Open the Activity_Matrix.html file in the Activity_List Folder on the DVD with Firefox, or in Sugar Browse 129 or Surf 115.
Or.
Copy contents of DVD to a USB-stick and open the USB-stick Activity_Matrix.html file in Sugar Browse 129 or Surf 115. - (Browse 130 does not open it in f17)
Hint: Use search window (_______) on the top bar of USB-stick display that appears when you click on the USB-stick icon in the left bottom corner of the sugar screen.
look for Activity_Matrix.html use open with on the drop down box that appears when you hover over the Activity_Matrix.html file.
  • Suggestion: copy only the activity.xo files that you want to use from the DVD to a (fat 16/32) USB-stick; Insert it and use it to drag-drop install a custom suite of activities to Sugar.
Activities.xo files can be installed by drag-dropping them into the Sugar Journal from a mounted DVD or a USB to which they have been copied.
You can also install and open the activities by clicking on them.

How to make your own custom Sugar-Creation_Kit.iso file
(How this DVD was converted to an .iso file)
    1. Collect, annotate and sort the files you want in a folder on your Desktop.
    2. Burn the contents of this folder to a CD or DVD.
    3. Use the following command in Terminal as the root user:
      dd if=/dev/sr0 of=Sugar-Creation-Kit.iso
/dev/sr0 is the device name for your DVD/CD drive
  • Sample output:
         dd if=/dev/sr0 of=Sugar-Creation-Kit.iso

 5555584+0 records out
 2844459008 bytes (2.8 GB) copied, 232.86 s, 12.2 MB/s

This seems to be the same script as listed here: Sugarize which has these insructions: How to sugarize a program used with permission: Albert Cahalan's compiled libsugarize file. --Satellit 17:45, 18 January 2012 (EST)
Translated from Spanish with google translate:
There is a special package for an existing program sugarizar X11 using a bash script and a library specially created for it,
here let the package be zipped for download: Sugarizar_software.zip
Just unzip the file and run the script found in the package and you answering the questions,
the script will generate a directory with the activity for sugar, then you should give the required permissions to  each file and directory
as explained in the main page this site and package the directory
to download the activity from the x or directly copy the entire directory to / home / olpc / Activities on the XO.

Download Methods
There are many alternative methods to install Sugar. The options can be very confusing because of the technical details and features that may be unfamiliar.
This page begins to itemize some of the many options that are available for those interested in learning more about the possibilities.

Suggested uses:
  • Example: in an install of Ubuntu plus sweets-distribution sugar 0.94.1
    Download an epub book with Get Books Activity in sugar.
    Close Get Books.
    Click on Sugar Journal
    drag drop the epub file from the sugar journal to the documents folder in the bottom left of the frame.
    exit sugar and use firefox (with EPUBReader addon) to "open with" command to open the EPUB file from the Documents folder of Ubuntu.

  • f17 liveusb-creator-IMPORTANT
USE "liveusb-creator --reset-mbr from terminal
Or USB will not boot
  • Command line Use:
Usage: liveusb-creator [options]
Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c, --console         Use console mode instead of the GUI
  -f DRIVE, --force=DRIVE
                        Force the use of a given drive
  -s, --safe            Use the "safe, slow and stupid" bootloader
  -n, --noverify        Skip checksum verification
  -v, --verbose         Output extra debugging messages
  -k ARGS, --extra-kernel-args=ARGS
                        Supply extra kernel arguments (eg: -k
                        noswap,selinux=0,elevator=noop)

  -L, --liveos-checksum
                        Calculate the SHA1 of the device
  -H HASH, --hash=HASH  Use a specific checksum algorithm (default: sha1)
Installing and using liveusb-creator in sugar
An easy method for Fedora and Windows, however this method does not generate a separate home.img filesystem to conserve the exhaustible OS overlay (see LiveOS image), nor does it copy the livecd-iso-to-disk installation script to the new device to permit generation of a new Live USB device from the first.
Note if graphical liveusb-creator program will not make a bootable USB-stick from an .iso file:
(This can happen if the stick is formatted to fat16 on another PC with a different Operating System.)
Use terminal command :
liveusb-creator --reset-mbr
USB-stick must be formatted: fat16/32; Labeled=LIVE; boot flag set.
(The LIVE label is only required when the device is to be used for a subsequent uncompressed installation to a hard disk.)

LiLi USB Creator

Possible Use Cases

(from Wiki Page)

Curriculum packaging
  1. A teacher wants to prepare a SoaS image with a custom set of installed Activity bundles or a Journal of Activity instances for an upcoming class term.
  2. The teacher modifies their current working image by adding or deleting Activity bundles from their Home view and adding or removing Journal entries with specific content
   (such as a Physics model template or Etoys project), even saving distributable ebooks, or bookmarks in Browse Activity instances that are named for specific sets of local web destinations
   (a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity).
  3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies.
  4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed.
Full image backup or sharing
  1. A Learner has modified their environment, perhaps adding Activity bundles and prepared specific instances such as a Activities/Physics simulation.
  2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality.
  3. The Learner wants to archive or share this image with friends or for a backup.
  4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores.
  5. The User creates one or more Sugar Clones.

This method of backup has the advantage that it copies Learner changes to the core operating system as well as the Journal. A LiveOS image using a separate persistent home folder could be partially cloned with either the operating system overlay or home folder without the other should that be desired.

  • 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!

Pungi

Advanced
  • used to build non-live CD/DVD isos
Pungi needs to run on the arch it is composing, as root, and with an install of what it is composing, eg if you are composing Fedora 8, you need to be running Fedora 8.
This is so that the correct userland tools are used to create the images and such used by anaconda.
The eventual usage of pungi will most likely be in mock chroots to facilitate this.
It needs to run on the arch it is composing due to how anaconda-runtime determines what files to put in the boot images at this time.
Currently the releases of pungi are designed to run on an updated Rawhide system. Development of pungi always tracks Rawhide.
