− | ==VirtualBox appliance derived from SoaS Mirabelle==
| |
− | : updated 13 Oct 2010
| |
− |
| |
− | This appliance has a traditional, non-compressed filesystem and was built by using [[Sugar on a Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller|ZyX-LiveInstaller]] on a SoaS Mirabelle image. (It does not simulate the stock ''Sugar on a Stick'' image with its [[LiveOS image]] with a compressed filesystem, [[wikipedia:SquashFS|SquashFS]], for the operating system files and an optional overlay and home folder for persistence.)

| |
− | ** Can the default window size be set to simulate an XO at 832x624 pixels? Do we have a license to distribute images with Guest Additions installed?
| |
− | ** I found a base memory setting of 802 MB RAM. This may be too high for older computers. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 13:02, 14 October 2010 (EDT)
