Sugar on a Stick

With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugar Labs and is the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD or Live USB!

See our Sugar on a Stick page, in particular, Full F11 Sugar Desktop (Xfce/Sugar on a 4-GB USB device).

Make you own custom Fedora F11/12 Install or Live DVD/CD's

(revised march 14 2010)

• f11 will build 0.84.x Sugar
• f12 will build 0.86.x Sugar *(does not see USB in frame, on insertion, when running Virtualbox.)

• In Terminal:

yum install revisor
yum install kickstart

• start kickstart and follow instructions/ save the kickstart file

• Sugar Desktop is one of the selections offered.

• Hint: select Gnome desktop and then deselect it if you do not want it (this sets graphical dependencies like X for you)

• start revisor select DVD-CD 0r Live / select your KS.cfg (in you /home/(user) directory) / select options and start.

• takes about 1-2 hrs to build .iso files
• Important: copy completed .iso files from /srv/revisor/f11(12) i386/*** subdirectories; and paste them onto your Desktop.
• burn DVD/CD .iso and use it in VMworkstation or Virtualbox to test; or use to install to USB/SD or your Hard-Disk (with Anaconda in your new DVD/CD)

Build System setup:

• 500/250 GB Seagate FreeAgent GO external usb HD's (easily switched and portable)
• f11/f12 installed with f11/f12 netinstall.CD's

Fedora OLPC

The Fedora OLPC SIG, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might later be installed using

yum install sugar-*

Here's a video of the process http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmrtlyyCFo

CJB suggests: as root, run: yum -y groupinstall "Sugar Desktop Environment"

The command to run Sugar is as root otherwise you may get this behavior.

Marco wrote a quick script to generate a boot cd for a liveusb image with overlay. It can be useful on old systems which doesn't support boot from USB:
