Fedora

Notes: Sebastian Dziallas reports that there is a new version of the Sugar Spin based on Fedora is available here:

http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/olpc/0.82-2/i686/sugar-spin.iso

With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugarlabs and the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD! You'll find several activities on the image including most notably...

  • sugar-browse - a web browsing activity based on xulrunner
  • sugar-write - a word processor based on abiword

...among with several other applications introducing e.g. chat support. and recently further activities.

The OLPC SIG, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might be installed using yum install sugar-* at a later time.

For more information on the new release, please refer to the announcement here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/2008-December/msg00061.html

What if you wanted to put it quickly onto your USB Key? You'll just need to grab Luke Macken's liveusb-creator, which already includes support for the Sugar Spin. Here's the link:

https://fedorahosted.org/releases/l/i/liveusb-creator/liveusb-creator-3.0.zip

The liveusb-creator still contains an old link, which is the reason why you'll need to download the spin manually until this gets fixed.

Thank you everybody, who made this possible!


Marco wrote a quick script to generate a boot cd for a liveusb image with overlay. It can be useful on old systems which doesn't support boot from USB:
