f28 end of life
"Fedora 28 will be EOL on Tuesday, May 28th, 2019. On this day we are going to close all of the Fedora 28 bugs which remain open [1]. You have a few weeks remaining to submit updates, if you have any, before the Fedora 28 release becomes unsupported.

sugar depends on Python 2
- "The current plan is to remove packages with dependency on Python 2 from Fedora 32 in the middle of November 2019."
- Aug 16,2017 IRC #sugar
- "<satellit> ... https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fedora_31#sugar_depends_on_Python_2
- hope we can do this in time or soas spin may die...many of the required packages have already been removed ( the FTBFS policy)
- in mailing list discussions devel@lists.fedoraproject.org ...soas is not building after branching as far as I can tell (.iso and arm)

- Note that USB3 Ports on RPi4 are Blue
- Note that the Red and white enclosure of the Rpi4 allows overheating of the board; run with cover off
- (lightning bolt warning in right upper corner appears when too hot)
- important review

- 64 bit arm (uses 3 GB of memory)
"Manjaro ARM Preview2 for Raspberry Pi 4! (Manjaro ARM Team)
The Manjaro ARM project is proud to announce the second test release for the Raspberry Pi 4! This is an indication of how far upstream (Raspberry Pi) is with 64-bit support. This is also the place where you get a preview of the upcoming XFCE edition, that will be "replacing" the LXQT images going forward. Thanks to @Darksky for making the XFCE edition a reality!"

- insert micro SD into usb Card Reader and plug in it's USB
- select RPiB3+ and write Fedora-SoaS-armhfp-Rawhide-20190619.n.0-sda.raw file
- exit Fedora MediaWriter
- start gparted and expand partition 3 to full size of micro SD (Class 10 32 GB)
- insert mico SD in RPi3B+ slot and power up.
- install Nodebug kernel https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug
- Suggestion save command for nodebug on USB key as text file; copy paste it into terminal when running booted sd.

- NOTE recent arm images use debug kernel and this fills up the microSD cards quickly; making them freeze up
-
- fills up sd: bcm2835-dma (messages never stop)
- Tuesday builds should use nodebug kernel
- Use these to test in Rpi3B+

How to Clear ./sugar
- When making a new VM, to clear the Sugar Journal of old entries and to avoid identity conflicts among copies of the VM, enter the command
rm -rf ~/.sugarin the Terminal activity. Then shutdown the VM. This will clear all Learner information on the VM and let you start with a fresh install. Skipping this will result in collisions in the Neighborhood view of the Jabber network between separate copies of the appliance. Verify the presence of the .sugar directory by enteringls -ain Terminal. - When cloning a customized VM, in order to keep the Journal and installed .xo Activities, use
rm -rf ~/.sugar/default/owner.key*in the Sugar Terminal, and then shutdown the VM. enter in root terminal:su (password) shutdown -h nowThis leaves the Journal entries and removes only the previous Learner's identity key files. - To clear the Sugar Journal:
rm -rf ~/.sugar/default/datastoreThis may be needed if the Journal becomes clogged with too many entries. USE WITH CAUTION'

livecd-creator
"Why not just use livecd-creator? It is still maintained by the community (mainly Neal Gompa, see https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools ) and it supports this IMHO essential feature. And livecd-creator typically accepts kickstarts written for livemedia-creator with few to no changes, unlike the other way round. Kevin Kofler"

Install of IIAB on RPi4
"The Raspberry Pi 4 is the latest upgrade in the Raspberry Pi SBC series. : This one has a Quadcore A72 CPU, up to 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0 ports, double micro-HDMI ports, AC Wifi, Bluetooth 5.0 and Gigabit ethernet."
- NOTE medium and full install include sugarizer-server (default)
- Same install on a 32GB sd: using my Rpi3B+.
- Only difference: used medium install and only downloaded a few items to test
- Aug 2 2017
- Installed "Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software" (1)
- 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-full.img (extracted: 6.4 GB)
- 256 GB SanDisk Ultra micoSDXC A1 card
- 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-full.img (extracted: 6.4 GB)
Install with Etcher:
- In microSD reader
- Insert card in RPi4 and power up:
- In microSD reader
- RPi4 (with 4 GB Memory) booted and changed GPU memory in "Preferences / Raspberry Pi4 Configuration" to [356] from [76]
- ( 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-full - allows changing the allocated amount of memory in the RPi4)
- (This appears to increase performance)
- ( 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-full - allows changing the allocated amount of memory in the RPi4)
- in add/remove software: install firefox ESR
- in terminal:
curl d.iiab.io/install.txt | sudo bash
- chose maximum iiab install size
- used middle selection for type of install (single point)
- Start Ansible install
Photograph terminal screen when it shows: "Internet-In-A Box (IIAB) software install is complete"
- Reboot (by hitting [enter] key)
- Change iiab-admin's password before connecting your server to the Internet.
You can do this within http://box.lan/admin -> Utilities menu — or at the command line, if you type "passwd iiab-admin".
- in firefox enter (in command line): 10.0.0.208/admin with user:iiab-admin and the password you entered above ^
- Starts Admin console
- test setup ^

NOTES
- run iiab-hotspot-on and iiab-hotspot-off which are found in /usr/bin — these are especially useful after you've used a Raspberry Pi's internal Wi-Fi to download IIAB and content.
