===Running VMPlayer Appliance using 2 USB Boot Sticks===
Ubuntu 9.04 has a "USB Startup Disk Creator". A real "user" created on a USB stick Created by "USB Startup Disk Creator" with persistence will not display the install to hard disk icon on the desktop but rather moves it to Administration. I used a 2 GB USB Stick with 650mb persistence file.
VMPlayer WILL INSTALL on Ubuntu unlike F11.
METHOD:
*In PC running Ubuntu 9.04 (or running in VMworkstation6.5.2.)
*Run "USB Startup Disk Creator" create USB ( 2 GB with 650mb persistence file)
*ReBoot PC with USB Stick
*Run "Users and Groups"
*Create new "user" and set password
*Give root a password (has to be given given a password in "Users and groups" while logged in as "live user")
*Log in to "User"
*Start Firefox and download VMPlayer (free) Linux.bundle
*Place .bundle file in /tmp
*su - command in /tmp
*enter password for root
Install:( bundle in /tmp( ./ command as administrator. )
*Insert 2nd USB Fat 16/32 (4GB or larger)
Transfer Appliance files to USB from DVD or sugarlabs web site (pending)
Be sure to change the files' properties
*Run VMPlayer Program as "user"
*Insert 2nd USB Fat 16/32 (4GB or larger) with SUGAR APPLIANCE
*choose 2nd USB stick and open VM Appliance file
*choose Gnome or SUGAR as login enter password
Initial Password sugar = sugaruser (change user name and password in live user)
root=sugarroot
Have Fun (Fedora 11 0.93 0.84-2)
The Sugar Appliance runs nicely on a EeePC900
Thus with a starter USB stick and a second one with the Appliance, a Student can
Carry the OS and a full copy of SUGAR on 2 USB Sticks....
It is complicated but it works.
