SoaS Installation variations

A collection of links on how Live USB's are used in different distributions
A-Non-Live (real file structured) USB
click link ^
This is an example of a dd writable SoaS-v2.img file which produces a fully functional Conventional install on a USB. This is equivalent to a liveinst install to USB.
It was first suggested by bernie in early 2010 as a better alternative to the currently used live USB SoaS filesystems with their fragile and limited sized overlay,
  • This functionality is expected to be included in fedora 17 liveinst (Anaconda)
  • This can also be realized by entering "liveinst" in root sugar terminal
(Anaconda installer which installs to the USB with a normal install)
Use "custom" format option with /boot ext4 and / ext4 and no swap for a USB.
This requires approximately 2 times as large a USB (4GB minimum) as it is not a compressed file system and an overlay
Notes on Live File Systems
LiveOS image
This page shares some information about the LiveOS design that helps Sugar on a Stick Learners make better use of their disc resources.
  • Clarify writing ISO to USB
(Discussion on what is supported in fedora)
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/134
Limited Lifetime of Persistent Overlay
One very important note about using the "primary" persistent overlay for system changes is that due to the way it's currently implemented (as a LVM copy-on-write snapshot),
every single change to it (writes AND deletes) subtracts from its free space, so it will eventually be "used up" and your USB stick will no longer boot.
Because of these limitations, it is advisable to use the system-level persistence sparingly, for configuration changes and important security updates only.
For a truly persistent write-many (vs write-once) overlay, use the --home-size-mb option to create a home directory filesystem image for personal files.
Unlike the primary system overlay image, the home.img can be re-used and loop mounted outside of the liveusb environment.

  • Cleared of Sugar Learner identity. Starts on color selection screen (Click the <===(back) button to change the Learner name.)
 
  • 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 /.sugar in 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 entering ls -a in Terminal.
  • When cloning a customized VM, in order to keep the Journal and installed .xo Activities, use rm ~/.sugar/default/owner.key* in the Sugar Terminal, and then shutdown the VM. This leaves the Journal entries and removes only the previous Learner's identity key files.

Update: http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg02044.html
Rebuild/Refresh a custom SoaS iso from a running stick

Possible Use Cases

(from Wiki Page)

Curriculum packaging
  1. A teacher wants to prepare a SoaS image with a custom set of installed Activity bundles or a Journal of Activity instances for an upcoming class term.
  2. The teacher modifies their current working image by adding or deleting Activity bundles from their Home view and adding or removing Journal entries with specific content
   (such as a Physics model template or Etoys project), even saving distributable ebooks, or bookmarks in Browse Activity instances that are named for specific sets of local web destinations
   (a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity).
  3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies.
  4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed.
Full image backup or sharing
  1. A Learner has modified their environment, perhaps adding Activity bundles and prepared specific instances such as a Activities/Physics simulation.
  2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality.
  3. The Learner wants to archive or share this image with friends or for a backup.
  4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores.
  5. The User creates one or more Sugar Clones.

This method of backup has the advantage that it copies Learner changes to the core operating system as well as the Journal. A LiveOS image using a separate persistent home folder could be partially cloned with either the operating system overlay or home folder without the other should that be desired.

Sweets-Sugar

Sweets Distribution

(Sweets Distribution is easier to use for Ubuntu' and its Derivatives (Adding an additional Repository to synaptic) as the packages are pre-configured, ready to use.)
These are the major purposes for this distribution:
    * When Sweets is more appropriate for personal usage, Sweets Distribution might be useful for Sugar distributors, e.g., special GNU/Linux distributions targeted for Sugar usage;
    * Some times it is nearly impossible to have a recent Sugar release in not so recent GNU/Linux distributions, e.g., LTS releases. Sweets Distribution will be helpful in that case;
    * Sweets Distribution is all about packaging Sugar sweets, thus, it is a zero-cost effort. 
     The downside is that it is impossible to add Sweets Distribution's packages to official repositories of GNU/Linux distributions. 
 This is a special, Sugar only, distribution. These are the key points that make the Sweets Distribution different from other Distributions:
    * The Sweets Distribution is formed as a 3rd party repository, i.e., it is not a complete GNU/Linux distribution;
    * It supports several GNU/Linux distributions at the same time;
    * Packages from these repositories do not interfere with the rest of the system, e.g., it is possible to use Sugar from the Sweets Distribution and Sugar from official repositories at the same time
(Advanced)
