4GiB SD or 2GiB USB made with Fedora liveUSB-Creator (in Windows or Fedora 11) using F11 GNOME i686 LIVE.iso with a 700 Persistence file. 

  Fedora 10.93 (Leonidas)/ 0.84.2 Sugar.

EeePC 900 /log in live user account/connect wireless/Create 2 new users New Users(sugar) and ("USER") in user manager and log out,switch users, and log in to this New user("USER")/Add Software/Packages/Sugar Desktop (Constructionist Learning Platform): Install sugar activities. Do Update (about 20 minutes) 

 NOTE:("USER") is what ever you call your gnome system
  • . Then you can boot SD by auto log in (Live user) make a wireless connection. Then you log out (Live user) and Log in to ("USER") and start Gnome desktop.
  • switch users to (SUGAR) select sugar on bottom bar/ log in.
  • In Sugar Desktop you can see others on the jabber server. Connect to IRC ,Browse, and (chat both locally and via Jabber).
  You log out of (SUGAR) then (USER) then cancel log in screen to shut down the system from here.

!!!You MUST use "Logout" to exit sugar session as "Shutdown" and "restart" options will hang the system.

NOTE: If you log into sugar from the (live user) account and then reboot to Gnome using the switcher bar ,eventually the network manager goes missing and it pulses and cannot connect to wireless in sugar. 

Do not try to load liveusb Creator on USB or SD it will crash system [satellit 05/01/2009]
==========================================================================================

++I did a net install to the hard disk on a hp e-pc (wired connection 1200 celeron) following the same procedure: Fedora 11 beta + sugar Desktop. This works very well and I just did a chat with ASH in Europe while connected to my EeePC on a USB Soas-Beta. I WAS NOT USING A LIVE USER ACCOUNT

++the Hp e-pc was wired, the EeePC was wireless on my network on an apple airport extreeme plus presence service hit the net. All 3 could connect and chat.

The BUG of loosing the network manager does not seem to appear in a real installation of sugar in F11b. May be due to problems with using the live user account on the SD card with the sugar desktop and wireless network manager

Problems:

  • USB/SD Gets corrupted if do an system update
  • Install to Hard Disk Icon cannot be deleted permanently - DANGER can affect guest computer installation if used.
  • Must add user for SUGAR Access or will corrupt Network manager when switching between Gnome and Sugar Desktops.
  • Hangup of system if "Logout" not used to return to Gnome (Live user user) from SUGAR Desktop SUGAR (user) before shutting down of system
