| + | ===Running VMPlayer Appliance using 2 USB Boot Sticks=== |
| + | Ubuntu 9.04 has a "USB Startup Disk Creator". A real "user" created on a USB stick Created by "USB Startup Disk Creator" with persistence will not display the install to hard disk icon on the desktop but rather moves it to Administration. I used a 2 GB USB Stick with 650mb persistence file. |
| + | |
| + | VMPlayer WILL INSTALL on Ubuntu unlike F11. |
| + | |
| + | METHOD: |
| + | *In PC running Ubuntu 9.04 (or running in VMworkstation6.5.2.) |
| + | *Run "USB Startup Disk Creator" create USB ( 2 GB with 650mb persistence file) |
| + | |
| + | *ReBoot PC with USB Stick |
| + | *Run "Users and Groups" |
| + | *Create new "user" and set password |
| + | *Give root a password (has to be given given a password in "Users and groups" while logged in as "live user") |
| + | *Log in to "User" |
| + | *Start Firefox and download VMPlayer (free) Linux.bundle |
| + | *Place .bundle file in /tmp |
| + | *su - command in /tmp |
| + | *enter password for root |
| + | Install:( bundle in /tmp( ./ command as administrator. ) |
| + | |
| + | *Insert 2nd USB Fat 16/32 (4GB or larger) |
| + | Transfer Appliance files to USB from DVD or sugarlabs web site (pending) |
| + | Be sure to change the files' properties |
| + | |
| + | *Run VMPlayer Program as "user" |
| + | *Insert 2nd USB Fat 16/32 (4GB or larger) with SUGAR APPLIANCE |
| + | *choose 2nd USB stick and open VM Appliance file |
| + | *choose Gnome or SUGAR as login enter password |
| + | Initial Password sugar = sugaruser (change user name and password in live user) |
| + | root=sugarroot |
| + | Have Fun (Fedora 11 0.93 0.84-2) |
| + | |
| + | The Sugar Appliance runs nicely on a EeePC900 |
| + | |
| + | Thus with a starter USB stick and a second one with the Appliance, a Student can |
| + | Carry the OS and a full copy of SUGAR on 2 USB Sticks.... |
| + | It is complicated but it works. |
