Sugar on a Stick - Mirabelle
- a Sugar environment you can carry in your pocket
This document will provide instructions for preparing a Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) installation. It should contain a list of known issues and sources of further information, for example how to use a Boot Helper CD for very old PCs.
Testing and documentation assistance is welcome.
Fedora has hosted the build environment for this version of Sugar on a Stick. See this Fedora Sugar on a Stick Spin page for more information.

SoaS nightly builds

- Note that with larger images one may need to adjust the overlay or home folder size in order to fit the installation onto a 1-GB USB device (for example, with soas-x86_64-20101004.16.iso (503 MB),
--home-size-mb 190
was needed), otherwise, the filesystem will get corrupted during the creation of the home folder as the disc space is exhausted.

How to add a test result
Copy-paste the template below to another line at the bottom of the #Test results table.
|- | <!-- nightly build number --> | <!-- tester's SL wiki username --> | <!-- does it boot? --> | <!--Neighborhood? --> | <!-- Browse --> | <!-- Etoys --> | <!-- Chat --> | <!-- Terminal --> | <!-- Turtle Art --> | <!--IRC --> | <!-- Log --> | <!-- Write --> | <!-- Record --> | <!-- Physics --> | <!-- Read -->
Add results for each of the #Smoke tests as follows:
| <!-- name of test --> style="background: lime" | yes | <!-- name of test --> style="background: orange" | partially working (comments go here) | <!-- name of test --> style="background: red" | not working (describe failure)

Smoke tests
- Boot: Does it boot? Can you choose a name and colors, and navigate through the Neighborhood/Friends/Home/Journal screens?
- Neighborhood? Can you get on Jabber and see other Sugar users in your Neighborhood? (This also implies that your wifi or wired Network Connection works.)
- Activity tests: For each Activity, the following criteria must be met:
- The Activity starts from Home view.
- You can perform a basic action in the Activity (for instance, loading a webpage in Browse, or joining a channel with IRC, or typing some words in Write.)
- The Activity can be stopped via the button in the Frame.
- The Activity session is saved in the Journal.
- The Activity can be shared with other Sugar users in your Neighborhood.
