 Sugar 0.110 is available in Debian ''Stretch'':
-* install Debian ''Jessie'' in the usual way, see [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org],
+* install Debian ''Stretch'' in the usual way, see [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org], and [https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/debian-installer/ debian-installer],
-* change <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> to use the Debian ''Stretch'' testing release,
+* when asked mid-way through install what to include, deselect all,
- sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
+* when the install has completed, log in as root, install Sugar, a display manager, and reboot,
-* update the package lists,
+  apt install sucrose lightdm
- sudo apt update
+ exec reboot
-* upgrade all packages,
+* in the graphical login screen, change from the default X session to Sugar,
- sudo apt dist-upgrade
+* log in as your non-root user, created during install.
-* install Sugar,
-  sudo apt install sucrose
-* log out,
-* log in with the Sugar desktop selected.
-We use the testing ''Stretch'' release because Sugar is not in the current stable ''Jessie'' release, as it was not ready; "due to critical issues with collaboration discovered during freeze of the distribution release process".  But this has been fixed.
-To help avoid this happening again, test early and test often.
