How to use Sugar on a Stick on a Raspberry Pi;

  • on another computer, visit arm.fedoraproject.org and download the Sugar on a Stick image,
  • write the image to a microSD card, see #Fedora_Media_Writer below, or use the Fedora Raspberry Pi Documentation,
  • insert the microSD card into the Raspberry Pi, and turn it on,
  • answer the post-install questions; time zone, root password, and add a user,
  • at the login prompt log in with the added user, and Sugar will start.

Security Warning

Remote access is pre-enabled through SSH, for both root and any user accounts. Risk can be reduced by choosing strong passwords in the post-install setup questions. Can be fixed after install with Terminal command; 

sudo chkconfig sshd off

  • select and extract, result is a raw file
  • start Fedora Media Writer
  • select "Custom"
  • select the raw file
  • Insert microSD in Mini Card Reader and insert in USB port
  • Choose rpi3 from drop-down in Fedora Media Writer
  • Write microSD

Wireless

Wireless does not work because firmware has a license restriction, download it in Terminal; 

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/master/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt -o /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt
