Sugar on a Stick - Mirabelle

a Sugar environment you can carry in your pocket

This document will provide instructions for preparing a Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) installation. It should contain a list of known issues and sources of further information, for example how to use a Boot Helper CD for very old PCs.

Testing and documentation assistance is welcome.

Fedora has hosted the build environment for this version of Sugar on a Stick. See this Fedora Sugar on a Stick Spin page for more information.

If you want to proceed directly to downloading, please see this wiki page,

SoaS nightly builds

Fedora nightly-composes page - Look for the SoaS live section well down in the table.

• See Fedora 35, Testing/Reports/Sugar on a Stick for testing results.

Install, test, report

• See Sugar on a Stick/Installation
  • Note that with larger images one may need to adjust the overlay or home folder size in order to fit the installation onto a 1-GB USB device (for example, with soas-x86_64-20101004.16.iso (503 MB), --home-size-mb 190 was needed), otherwise, the filesystem will get corrupted during the creation of the home folder as the disc space is exhausted.

Smoke tests

• Boot: Does it boot? Can you choose a name and colors, and navigate through the Neighborhood/Friends/Home/Journal screens?
• Neighborhood? Can you get on Jabber and see other Sugar users in your Neighborhood? (This also implies that your wifi or wired Network Connection works.)
• Activity tests: For each Activity, the following criteria must be met:
  • The Activity starts from Home view.
  • You can perform a basic action in the Activity (for instance, loading a webpage in Browse, or joining a channel with IRC, or typing some words in Write.)
  • The Activity can be stopped via the button in the Frame.
  • The Activity session is saved in the Journal.
  • The Activity can be shared with other Sugar users in your Neighborhood.
  • Collaboration Test Reports:[3]
  • Activities tested to be compatible with Mirabelle(ver 509)[4] (OpenOffice Spreadsheet of ASLO activities)
