flying toaster

This activity is intended to do two things

  • Create USB sticks (such as Sugar on a Stick soas-2-blueberry.iso)
  • Create a CD or DVD disc from an .iso image if the necessary hardware is available

We will use as simple a user interface as possible for use even as a kiosk. We plan to do extensive compatibility testing on XO 1.0 and 1.5 hardware as well as on builds which are already deployed. An important part of making this activity successful will be implementing methods that are usable on as wide a hardware and software user base as possible.

Our project was approved for the OLPC Contributor program. The goal is to allow any XO user or XO in book mode to select and create a bootable USB stick or disc.

This activity is not yet functional.

Much work has been done elsewhere on USB sticks. A CD or DVD drive connected via USB is required to create those discs. Collaboration is encouraged as we get the project going. You can provide input here, as bug reports or as code. Inspiration for this project derives from the Freedom Toaster and other similar projects. An application is being prepared for the contributors program as described in this blog post.
