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
- Hp Pavillion tx 1000 AMd Turion 64 Laptop (with Hard-Disk removed);Booted from netinstall CD's
- Wired Cat5 Network Connection to HS Cable Modem
-Fedora-12-i686-Live-Edu
Gnome + Sugar-Desktop in a 1.6Gb .iso
Installs to a 8GB USB nicely

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.
sugar-emulator

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:
