Category:Liveusb

This page - and the notion that we should have a category for liveusb projects - is under discussion on the SoaS list as of this writing. This page will probably be changing rapidly - please don't take anything here as set in stone! Join the conversation on the mailing list if you would like to know more.

This is a directory of liveusb Sugar efforts so that developers interested in such things can see which ones are currently ongoing. The current project endorsed by Sugar Labs for both development and deployment is Sugar on a Stick - though people are of course free to work on whatever they would like!

Note: Each of these projects should probably have its own page marked with the Category:Liveusb category, but for now here is a list.

• Sebastian Dziallas is calling the coming iteration of the project he is working on Sugar on a Stick, Blueberry [1]; the name of the overall project is Sugar on a Stick.
• Other spins?
  • openSUSE-Sugar-Live[[2]] (dd to USB/SD)+(experimental 2nd partition for persistence)[[3]]
  • openSUSE-Edu-live-Li-f-e (Server)[[4]] with Sugar( dd to 8GB USB/SD)
  • F11-Live-Edu[[5]] (sh script)
  • Trisquel-Edu[[6]](Live USB)[[7]] Trisquel 2.2
  • Trisquel-Sugar[[8]]Download:[[9]] script for USB with persistence:[[10]] Trisequel 3.0 see notes
  • F12(rawhide)education i386xxxxx[[11]] (dd to USB/SD)
  • Sugar Tree [[12]]

Notes

• 1.) F12(rawhide) and opensuse-edu now distribute a dual mode live.iso of Sugar-Desktop which boots into sugar as a CD or can be used to dd write to a USB/SD "stick". (persistence is a work in progress on these)[[13]] [[14]][[15]][[16]]

• 2.) Sugar from multiple distros is available[[17]] as a VMPlayer or Virtualbox "Appliance" which can be stored on a USB/SD "Stick" and thus is transportable with (persistence) from PC to PC.

• 3.) There are "full installs"(real file structure-not a live system) of: Sugar, Sugar+Gnome, Sugar+KDE on larger(4GB+) USB Sticks which are available for download [[18]]in compressed form that can be written to a bootable USB/SD with a dd command in several minutes.

Added Notes: from Soas lists: Rubén Rodríguez Pérez

• Trisquel-Edu (Live USB)
• Trisquel-Sugar 3.0 RC (has usb-creator available as command in terminal for persistent USB)

I will further explain the differences:

We are including the Sugar packages in both our 2.2 LTS version (where you can find the Trisquel Edu edition), and in our new 3.0 STS version. All our live Sugar images will be based on the STS one, as it will provide better hardware support.

Trisquel Edu, which is a GNOME based educational system, can run Sugar as an alternate environment, or serve it via LTSP. The Edu edition (like the Pro one) is only available in the 2.2 LTS version of the distro. It will be the recommended version for large Sugar-on-Trisquel deployments.
