  • How To Test
Updated Jan 15 2011
This wiki page is being slowly updated for later versions of ASLO activities and Soas Versions --Satellit 13:10, 6 January 2012 (EST)

On your PC:

  1. Download ASLOxo6-2.iso from http://download.sugarlabs.org/images/ASLOxo6-2.iso ---- ASLOxo6.2-List of Contents
  2. Burn CD from ASLOxo6-2.iso
  3. Copy-Paste the contents of the CD to a 2nd USB-stick; labeled "ASLOxo" .

Boot a Soas USB or a running Soas CD

  1. Insert ASLOxo USB-stick into a USB slot, wait for it to mount.
  2. Select the Journal on top of Sugar's Frame.
  3. Drop down to bottom-left corner of screen, the Frame will retract and show two USB icons.
  4. Select the 2nd (right) USB (ASLOxo).
  5. Drag-drop the desired application.xo (hold down the left button and drag the entry) from the listing into the sugar-journal on the bottom (left USB icon) corner of the monitor OR double click on application.xo in the list of the ASLOxo USB-stick.

The Activity should:

  • Start normally;
  • Shut down normally;
  • Collaborate (if that is an enabled feature);
  • Resume from the saved Journal;

All behavior should be identical to a download in Browse from activities.sugarlabs.org (ASLO) [1].
