Notes
To create a live USB disk with user data persistence, you can burn the image in a CD and use it to start a live session. Then plug the USB unit, open the terminal, and run "usb-creator".(usb-creator-gtk) A launcher application is coming.
The usb-creator helper is also included in the Trisquel 3 (and Ubuntu) desktop applications. If you use a different GNU/Linux distribution or Windows, you can use FUSBi instead.
Installing Sugar on Trisquel 2.2 LTS
To install the Sugar desktop you will need to add the repository to your apt configuration running this
echo "deb http://us.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel sugar-robur main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update
Now you can install the sugar-platform package using the synaptic package manager or by running
sudo aptitude install sugar-platform
You can now log out of your session and login into Sugar. If your computer is a LTSP server, it would be serving Sugar already.
