You can find this letter, as well as the related discussions, in the mailing list's archives: [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-September/019311.html] Line 29:
Line 27: − + − − '''Requirements:''' − : You'll need a USB flash drive, with a size of at least 1 GB to install space for saving your work and changes to the system. − − '''Notes:''' − : ''Sugar on a Stick v1 Strawberry'' was announced for immediate availability on 24 June 2009 and is ready for download below. For more instructions and the latest information, please refer to the [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/Strawberry| release notes]]. − : ''Sugar on a Stick v2 Beta'' was released on 30 August 2009 for a joint test day with the Fedora Project and is available, too. − ::It's image can be downloaded from [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-beta.iso here], as well as the associated [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-boot.iso boot helper]. − {{:Sugar on a Stick/Downloads}} − − ==== Latest experimental builds ==== − '''Remember:''' These builds are alpha quality; that means unstable and likely to frustrate everyone but developers and development testers. A new image structure is currently in development and will be made available soon. − * The newest snapshot releases of Sugar on a Stick v2 are available from: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/ − * See [[Sugar on a Stick/Linux#SoaS_v2| the wiki]] for specific boot instructions. − − ==== Other Ways ==== − − You might be interested in visiting our ''Get Sugar'' [[Downloads| page]], which provides you with different ways of running Sugar. Please note that these ways are totally unsupported by the Sugar on a Stick project, though! − − == Create Your Stick == − Please select your operating system below to get further instructions. Those instructions are intended for use with the Strawberry release ''only''! − − {| class="wikitable: − |+ '''Released Version: Strawberry''' − |- − |<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Sugar_on_a_Stick/Strawberry#Windows_Users}} {{filepath:Windows.gif}}]</span> − |<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Sugar_on_a_Stick/Strawberry#Mac_Users}} {{filepath:Apple.gif}}]</span> − |<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Sugar_on_a_Stick/Strawberry#Linux_Users}} {{filepath:Penguin.png}}]</span> − |- − |} − − Do you have an '''OLPC XO-1'''? Click here: [{{fullurl:Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/OLPC}} {{filepath:OLPCXO.png}}] − − '''Virtual machines:''' You can also run SoaS in a virtual machine. Sugar Labs volunteers are experimenting with [[VirtualBox]], [[VMware]], and [[QEMU]]. Virtual machines emulate computer hardware resources in software and allow your to install and run disc images from different operating systems on a single computer. − − === Boot === − On most modern computers it's possible to set the target computer's [[wikipedia:BIOS|BIOS]] to boot from a USB device. Unfortunately this process is slightly different on each computer. Explore the setup screen for your system (usually by pressing '''Esc''', '''F1''', or '''F12''' key while the computer is booting). If you can't figure it out, search the Internet for information on your computer model's BIOS. − − === Boot Helper CD === − If you have an older machine, or you just want things to immediately work without fussing with the BIOS, you can burn a "Boot Helper" CD using the .iso below. This will start the boot from the CD, then read files from the USB stick: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-1-boot.iso − − Note that when you use this method your USB stick must have the label FEDORA. Name the stick FEDORA '''before''' running liveusb-creator. In Windows, you can rename a disc in the file manager properties window. This ensures the persistent overlay will be used when booting with the "Boot Helper" CD. − − === Use === − − Once your stick boots, you'll find yourself in your own Sugar environment, ready to play and learn. − {| class="wikitable" − |- − |<span class="plainlinks"> [http://flossmanuals.net/Sugar http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/images/4/40/Sugarlabs_mainpage_07.png]</span> − | For a guide on how to use Sugar, see the [http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar FLOSSmanuals Sugar Learners' Guide]. − [[olpc:Keyboard_shortcuts|Keyboard shortcuts]] also lists some of the Sugar keyboard shortcuts on a PC keyboard.<br> − '''See also some hard-to-find or hidden features''' -- [[The undiscoverable]]. − |} − Finally, please let us know how it goes.

'''What's exactly on the Stick''': Taking advantage of the Fedora LiveUSB technology, it's possible to store everything you need to run Sugar on a single USB memory stick. The files coexist with other files the user may have or put on the disk. Different types of configurations are being designed to offer the options to run virtualizations or emulations and to use virtual machines on existing computers, saving the Sugar Home folder (the learner's work) on the Stick for use at another workstation. Our [[Sugar on a Stick/Resources| resources page]] contains more information about solutions we are working on.</div>

* ''Customizability'' - Deployments, as well as users, should be able to build their own SoaS easily. It is crucial for the success of SoaS to allow modifications and to make the process of creating derivates as easy as possible.
