Improve Sugar on a Stick (view source)
Revision as of 18:36, 20 December 2011
, 18:36, 20 December 2011→Where we need to simplify: Put 2 files for virtualbox import on a USB stick
== Where we need to simplify ==
== Where we need to simplify ==
1 '''Make it work to both boot and to run on the computers' current operating systems.'''
: This is clearly possible, LinuxliveUSB has a this working for Windows.
*We need a Mac and Linux VirtualBox or other VM Solution.
* We need a simple, elegant, Sugar specific UI that is presented to the user when they insert a stick into a running Windows machine.
Suggestion: Put 2 files for virtualbox import/import on a 2nd USB stick
On insertion; the contents of the USB stick pop up
An example:
f16-live-RC4-Desktop-sugaruser-disk1.vmdk
f16-live-RC4-Desktop-sugaruser.ovf '''<==click on this file and it immediately imports into VirtualBox (less than 2 Minutes)'''
(Only the .ovf file icon is highlighted in the USB stick contents)
This is OS agnostic for a system with an installed VirtualBox 4.1
2 '''Make it work with Macs.'''
*It kinda works sometimes now. Some macs reboot if you do magic incantations. Some don't. A VirtualBox "boot helper" VM that started the boot in VirtualBox, then looks to the stick was created by Dave Bauer, but it doesn't work on all Macs yet.
3 '''XS integration needs to work simply and elegantly.'''
* Backup and Restore
* A simple UI for recreating a lost or broken stick
* Give teachers the power of Moodle - We need tools for teachers to manage student work on the XS and to push files to students sticks.
4 '''Understand Stick failure and how to reduce it.'''
: See Notes: [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/Variations#Cautions_with_using_Live_USB_devices | Cautions with using Live USB devices]], [[LiveOS image]], & [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/Stick_Layout | Stick Layout]]
5 '''Make it simple and elegant to create sticks for your whole class.'''
* Not a lot of steps for drivers, etc., and it works on most of the computers in the kids' houses.
* Teacher decides what files and activities are included
No command line usage, an enjoyable, Sugarish experience.
