Sugar 0.84 has a number of improvements above and beyond 0.82. And we have a version working on the OLPC XO-1, but because of the changes in process at OLPC (see [[olpc:Future releases]]), there is a new short-term strategy for updates. Until OLPC issues its next official release, we are recommending that XO-1 users who would like to try 0.84 use Sugar on a Stick. The XO-1 can be booted from an external USB or SD card storage device, [[#Option 1: Run v0.84 of Sugar on a Stick from an SD card or external USB|Option 1]] below.

There are four main options for OLPC XO users:
# Run v0.84 Sugar on a Stick from a USB flash drive or SD card
# Run v0.84 Sugar on a Stick from a USB flash drive or SD card
# Install v0.84 Sugar on a Stick on the XO-1's internal NAND flash memory
# Install v0.84 Sugar on a Stick-XO on the XO-1's internal NAND flash memory
# Convert a v0.84 Sugar on a Stick .iso image to one suitable to install on the XO-1's internal NAND flash memory
# Use <tt>olpc-update</tt> to update to the latest software release from OLPC (which is currently 8.2.0 incorporating Sugar v0.82).

'''Note:''' The OLPC XO-1 has some built-in protections which lock the computer down in order to prevent haphazard software changes. In order to use either [[#Option 1: Run v0.84 of Sugar on a Stick from an SD card or external USB|Option 1]] or [[#Option 2: Install the v0.84 Sugar on a Stick image|Option 2]], XO-1 owners must [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys request a developer key from OLPC]; it's a simple process but takes up to 24 hours.

'''Warning:''' Options 2 & 3 will wipe /security directory, with any leases or devkeys there.

Create the USB stick as described on the [http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/Windows Sugar on a Stick/Installation/Windows] page in the "Instructions for creating a Sugar-on-a-Stick USB key from Windows" section.
Create the USB stick as described on the [[Sugar on a Stick/Windows]] page in the "Windows Instructions" section.


Do '''not''' boot this stick on your Windows machine. Make sure the first boot is on your XO. If you do boot the stick on another machine first, the X server setup needed for the XO will not be done.

Type the following commands in a terminal window:
[[wikipedia:Wget|wget]] {{SoaS release path}}
&nbsp;
sudo yum install livecd-tools
&nbsp;
wget -O livecd-iso-to-disk.sh "http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/?p=hosted/livecd;a=blob_plain;f=tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh;hb=HEAD"
&nbsp;
sudo ./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --format --xo --xo-no-home {{SoaS release image}} /dev/sd''X''1
Where <code>/dev/sdX1</code> is the device associated with your removable media.


wget {{SoaS-2 path}}
The livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script needs to be a current version with XO support (not what you get by default in Fedora 10, though Fedora 11's should be fine). You can find an up-to date version in the SoaS disk image /LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh .


sudo yum install livecd-tools
===Option 2: Install a v0.84 SoaS-XO image on the XO-1 NAND flash drive===
See:
*http://www.mail-archive.com/sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg05231.html and *https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/2009-June/msg00063.html
 
This build feels substantially faster than 802 (the last stable release). Serious issues:
 
* No sound
* No automounting of USB keys.
 
==== More recent builds are better ====
See:
* http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-August/017775.html
* The builds are located in http://people.sugarlabs.org/~mtd/soas-xo1/
* The Fedora builds for the XO are here: http://dev.laptop.org/~smparrish/XO-1/builds
 
Be sure to update your XO to the latest firmware:


  sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --xo --xo-no-home {{SoaS-2 image}} /dev/sdX1
  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q2e41


where <code>/dev/sdX1</code> is the device associated with your removable media.
===Option 3: Convert a v0.84 Sugar on a Stick .iso image===


===Option 2: Install the v0.84 Sugar on a Stick image===
'''WARNING''': This option is wishful thinking until the [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500196 jffs2 mount bug] is fixed.


'''Note''': Requires a [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys developer key for your OLPC-XO-1] and access to a GNU/Linux computer) It also requires a recent OFW version (Q2E28 has been reported as working. [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Manual_Firmware_Install Instructions for updating your firmware]).

You run ''olpc-update'' from the Terminal activity, ''e.g.'',:


  sudo olpc-update 767
  sudo olpc-update 802


where 767 is the build number of the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Builds#Stable_builds latest stable release] from OLPC.  This is OLPC release 8.2.0, incorporating Sugar v0.82.
where 802 is the build number of the [[OLPC:OS images | latest stable image]] from OLPC.  This is OLPC release 8.2.1, incorporating Sugar v0.82.
 
As of March, OLPC has candidate builds for an upcoming 8.2.1 release.
