- Newest versions of live .iso can be installed to USB/SD with dd command:

Add 2nd Persistent Partition:
fdisk /dev/sd(x)
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1959.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Sugar terminal:
su -
yast2 live-installer

yast2 users
change networking
terminal
su - yast2 lan Global Options [X] Traditional Method with ifup
wireless networking
yast2 lan
su - yast2 lan need to switch networking out of network manager; edit and add wireless wlan wireless wlan0; and enter info on encrypted or open, and if WEP, SSID plus WEP Key information. select wired interface>edit>general>activate device>never ok yast2 lan (2nd time) select manage with Network Manager ok Reboot USB/SD Go to drop down box on network and delete network history. Be sure to have radio box checked. Reboot again, On F1 neighborhood should see circles for wireless network connections. Mouse over the one you want to use and enter passwords if requested on drop down box On reboot, to get wireless connection to connect, you may have to enter the following in terminal: su - rcnetwork restart

Prebuilt Sugar Appliance
- Prebuilt VMPlayr.vmx file for Download
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/opensuse-edu/files/Sugar/
- http://education.opensuse.org/download/ISOs/ (in .zip .vmx and.tar.bz2 formats)
- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/images/ (.raw format for USB Sticks)
- Run on VMware Player or VirtualBox after decompressing.
Instructions
Important, for all openSUSE Appliances:
openSUSE-Sugar-0.1.0-Build2.26.1.vmx
no password req to start
Password(root)=sugaruser
====================================
To reset SUGAR ENTIY:
(Clear out name, color, and Sugar Journal contents)
<sugar terminal>
rm -rf ~/.sugar
su -
password:sugaruser
shutdown -h now
restart sugar
INSTRUCTIONS ***VERY IMPORTANT!***
======================================
when you open this VM Appliance with VMPlayer for first time:
use "I moved it"
NO NOT click "I Copied it"
Doing so generates a 2nd MAC id for the network card and leaves it as eth0
not configured (It will not work)
clearing the /.sugar entity (see above) does not affect Mac address
Nor does changing the color or name on the sugar control panel.
***** ALSO Do the following Right away after opening sugar for the first time:*****
*<sugar terminal>
su -
Password:xxx (see above)
yast2 sysconfig
System>Sysconfig>Enable Sysconfig>(NO)
(this locks out network reconfig)
exit, shutdown, restart
**(This seems to stop the autoconfiguration of openSUSE on restart)**
IF F1 Neighborhood is not connecting:
Try this First to start Network Manager:
- <sugar terminal>
su - password:xxx rcnetwork restart ============= NETWORKING FIX: (Networking Fix for loss of F1 Neighborhood:) <sugar terminal> su- Password:xxx (see above) yast2 lan switch to non-Network Manager control Delete other network cards configure DHCP 4 with hardware and eth0 exit once you get networking to work; *<sugar terminal> su - Password:xxx (see above) yast2 lan select Network Manager exit (change to network manager for wireless configration) then: *<sugar terminal> su - Password:xxx (see above) yast2 sysconfig System>Sysconfig>Enable Sysconfig>(NO) (this locks out network reconfig) exit, shutdown, restart
