How to make your own custom Sugar-Creation_Kit.iso file
- (How this DVD was converted to an .iso file)
- Collect, annotate and sort the files you want in a folder on your Desktop.
- Burn the contents of this folder to a CD or DVD.
- Use the following command in Terminal as the root user:
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=Sugar-Creation-Kit.iso
- /dev/sr0 is the device name for your DVD/CD drive
- Sample output:
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=Sugar-Creation-Kit.iso 5555584+0 records in 5555584+0 records out 2844459008 bytes (2.8 GB) copied, 232.86 s, 12.2 MB/s
- the resulting .iso file can be sent over the internet or used to make copies by burning to a DVD

Liveusb Creator
Instructions on how make a booting Live USB device
- Windows, GNU/Linux, and Intel Mac's
- f17 liveusb-creator-IMPORTANT
- USE "liveusb-creator --reset-mbr from terminal
- Or USB will not boot
- Command line Use:
Usage: liveusb-creator [options] Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -c, --console Use console mode instead of the GUI -f DRIVE, --force=DRIVE Force the use of a given drive -s, --safe Use the "safe, slow and stupid" bootloader -n, --noverify Skip checksum verification -v, --verbose Output extra debugging messages -k ARGS, --extra-kernel-args=ARGS Supply extra kernel arguments (eg: -k noswap,selinux=0,elevator=noop) -x, --no-xo Disable OLPC support -m, --reset-mbr Reset the Master Boot Record -C, --device-checksum Calculate the SHA1 of the device -L, --liveos-checksum Calculate the SHA1 of the device -H HASH, --hash=HASH Use a specific checksum algorithm (default: sha1)
Installing and using liveusb-creator in sugar (tutorial)
- An easy method for Fedora and Windows, however this method does not generate a separate home.img filesystem to conserve the exhaustible OS overlay (see LiveOS image), nor does it copy the livecd-iso-to-disk installation script to the new device to permit generation of a new Live USB device from the first.
- Note if graphical liveusb-creator program will not make a bootable USB-stick from an .iso file:
- (This can happen if the stick is formatted to fat16 on another PC with a different Operating System.)
- Use terminal command :
liveusb-creator --reset-mbr
- USB-stick must be formatted: fat16/32; Labeled=LIVE; boot flag set.
- (The LIVE label is only required when the device is to be used for a subsequent uncompressed installation to a hard disk.)

- Update: http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg02044.html
- Rebuild/Refresh a custom SoaS iso from a running stick
Possible Use Cases
(from Wiki Page)
- Curriculum packaging
1. A teacher wants to prepare a SoaS image with a custom set of installed Activity bundles or a Journal of Activity instances for an upcoming class term. 2. The teacher modifies their current working image by adding or deleting Activity bundles from their Home view and adding or removing Journal entries with specific content (such as a Physics model template or Etoys project), even saving distributable ebooks, or bookmarks in Browse Activity instances that are named for specific sets of local web destinations (a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity). 3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies. 4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed.
- Full image backup or sharing
1. A Learner has modified their environment, perhaps adding Activity bundles and prepared specific instances such as a Activities/Physics simulation. 2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality. 3. The Learner wants to archive or share this image with friends or for a backup. 4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores. 5. The User creates one or more Sugar Clones.
This method of backup has the advantage that it copies Learner changes to the core operating system as well as the Journal. A LiveOS image using a separate persistent home folder could be partially cloned with either the operating system overlay or home folder without the other should that be desired.
OLPC/Sugar as Webserver
- copied from Inkyfingers
- Open Terminal and type the following to install Boa (approx. 100k)
su - yum -y install boa
- Now put your index.html in /var/www
- Find your Sugar Computer/XO's IP Address. Still as root user (having entered su- already), enter into Terminal:
ifconfig
- Look next to eth0 for 192.168.whatever (for example)
- Go to another machine on your LAN and type your Sugar Computer/XO's IP Address into your browser. There's your Sugar computer serving up a web page!
