======Instructions======
 
'''Important, for VMX openSUSE Appliances:'''
 
openSUSE-Sugar-0.1.0-Build2.26.1.vmx
 
no password req to start
 
Password(root)=sugaruser
 
====================================
 
To reset SUGAR ENTIY:
 
(Clear out name, color, and Sugar Journal contents)
 
        <sugar terminal>
 
rm -rf ~/.sugar
 
su -
 
password:sugaruser
 
shutdown -h now
 
restart sugar
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS ***VERY IMPORTANT!***
 
======================================
 
when you open this VM Appliance with VMPlayer for first time:
 
use "I moved it"
 
NO NOT click "I Copied it"
 
Doing so generates a 2nd MAC id for the network card and leaves it as eth0
 
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:
 
*<sugar terminal>
 
su -
 
password:xxx
 
rcnetwork restart
 
=============
 
NETWORKING FIX:
 
(Networking Fix for loss of F1 Neighborhood:)
 
<sugar terminal>
 
su-
 
Password:xxx (see above)
 
yast2 lan
 
switch to non-Network Manager control
 
Delete other network cards
 
configure DHCP 4 with hardware and eth0
 
exit
 
 
once you get networking to work;
 
*<sugar terminal>
 
su -
 
Password:xxx (see above)
 
yast2 lan
 
select Network Manager
 
exit
 
(change to network manager for wireless configration)
 
then:
 
*<sugar terminal>
 
su -
 
  Password:xxx (see above)
 
yast2 sysconfig
 
System>Sysconfig>Enable Sysconfig>(NO)
 
(this locks out network reconfig)
 
exit, shutdown, restart

openSUSE-Li-f-e 12.3

Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensuse-edu/
  • Quoted from the webpage:
"openSUSE Education team is proud to present openSUSE-Edu Li-f-e (Linux for Education) based on openSUSE 12.3.
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). "

To add Ubuntu iso to the stick, run the following:
   export distroname=ubuntu
   live-fat-stick /path/to/ubuntu-filename.iso /dev/sdXY

The stick partition has to be vfat/fat32 format.
