*Sugar IRC-10 in RPi "B" 512 on rpfr-f18-rc1 (arm) and rpfr-17-xfce-r2 use IP6 ...all my other devices use IP4
...
In general newer versions of Fedora will try and autodiscover IPv6 networks.
If it finds one with a non-local (not fe80::) IP address it will get on it, and used the IPv6 routers spotted if present
Given a DNS name with both IPv4 & v6 addresses set, it's mostly up to the application to see if asks the OS to do v4, v6,
or just generically whichever the OS thinks makes the most sense

*'''RECOMMENDED'''
*http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/raspberrypi/test-releases/rpfr17/
Changes in this release:
- Image resize/swap space creation is now more reliable (note, however,
that it will take several minutes after the firstboot setup before the
resize/swap takes effect - the system may be used during this time). I
think we've probably nailed the last of the significant
firstboot/resize/swap issues.
- The image is now 1.852G in size and will fit a 2GB card (4GB or larger
card is recommended to allow plenty of space for data/extra
software/swap). The download is 665MB.
Next week we'll start performance tests with armv6 rebuilds (sfp & hfp)
and continue work on image size reduction and boot cutdown.

"Mike Thompson has produced a publicly available SD image of Raspbian that is bootable on Raspberry Pi hardware.
This is called the "pisces" image as that is what Mike's Raspberry Pi system is named on his LAN.
This image is a little newer and includes a more complete installation of Raspbian and LXDE than the more minimal Hexxeh image.
This image was created using the Debian installer so it reflects a minimal Debian installation with the LXDE packages added for a desktop."

<inkyfingers> is Debian Hard Float (armhf) for RPi
===Install sugar-0.88===
<inkyfingers> Is armhf likely to be a problem for <sweets>?
*LXTerminal:
  <alsroot> inkyfingers: I didn't try to run sugar on arm. OLPC people support it but I dunno do they use sugar directly from upstream brunches (what was used for sweets (not SD)) or not
:Root password is not known but "sudo su" goes to root terminal
  <inkyfingers> #644010 is now marked fixed - so wheezy seems fine to me with python 2.7 - I believe eliminated.
  sudo su
  <alsroot> btw, whats exact sugar version you are running on Raspberry?
  apt-get install sucrose-0.88
  <inkyfingers> Ok tried sdk/sugar and dextrose/
  apt-get update
<inkyfingers> dextrose marginally more success.
  apt-get install sugar-emulator-0.88

  <inkyfingers> F1 to F6 all fine ok
===Notes===
  <alsroot> thats fine..
*Activities that work D/L from ASLO (Browse)
  <alsroot> though, in my mind SD, finally, is more useful way to start sugar itself. but unfortunately, it does not [yet]support arm
  IRC-10.xo
<inkyfingers> I could see no avatars in F1 in dextrose <seen fine in sdk, 0.94>
  Turtle Art Mini-147
<inkyfingers> I have no Activities in F3
  Turtle Art 147 (very slow)
<alsroot> for activities, you can unzip some of them (that are pure python) to ~/Activities
  edit-8
<inkyfingers> That would be a good next step.
:
  <inkyfingers> Two usb ports are used by mouse and kbd. I will prepare a USB stick next and try that out.
*Activities that are too large to run:
<alsroot> inkyfingers: btw, how long it took to build sugar via "sweets" command?
 
<inkyfingers> Over 8 or 9 mins of 100% CPU
  GetBooks 11
<inkyfingers> sorry ssh into my rubbish notes is hard !! I keep not finding what I want!
