http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:Community/Distributions/Trisquel#Install_Sugar_0.88.1x_on_Trisquel_5.0

Works fine if you drag-drop surf-115.xo to journal from 2nd usb.

You then can install the applications you need from ASLO: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/

Works fine. Tested on a new install 07/31/2011

suggestion choose "Ubuntu classic" from gdm log-in switcher. (This gives Classic Gnome Desktop)

Tested on an ACER ASPIRE ONE N450 10" Netbook

Everything works on all of these options, including wireless.
