https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all
Boot Options
  • Anaconda Boot Options Modified for Fedora 17
  • Anaconda memory requirements for Fedora 17 (08 June 2012)
    "We dropped the requirement to 512 MB. Also the 'nomemcheck' parameter was added to disable the minimum check if people really want to try installing with 384 MB or 256 MB."

Sugar Learning Environment

packaged in Fedora
  • From the Applications -> Add/Remove Software app, search for Sugar.
  • Among all the packaged Activities select,
  The emulator for the Sugar Learning Environment
sugar-emulator-0.96.2-1.fc17
and any or all of the Activities.
Sugar will be available in your Applications -> Education grid.
Sugar will run in a Xephyr window (Sugar in a window) within the GNOME desktop environment. You will have full access to Sugar features, and may even run multiple instances. Networking bugs currently prevent collaboration with others in the jabber.sugarlabs.org server Neighborhood. Press <F1> to see the Sugar Neighborhood view.
See emulator screen size adjustment.

Fedora OLPC

The Fedora OLPC SIG, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might later be installed using yum install sugar-*

Here's a video of the process http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmrtlyyCFo
Chris Ball suggests: as root, run: yum -y groupinstall "Sugar Desktop Environment"

The command to run Sugar is as root, otherwise you may get this behavior.

Launch sugar from a terminal or console session: sugar-emulator
