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.

[Reboot]
Disconnect DVD drive
  • Boot from HD
  • Firstboot/Smolt

yum update Sept 2, 2012

  • Anaconda installed software from DVD repo with [x] do not update
  • Gnome "software update" does not work - (no password request pop up) "fail fail"
su
yum update
install 1 (+ 6 dependencies)
278 upgrades
rebuild of rpms, from delta rpms
  • Note This causes the "fail whale" Oh No! on boot of upgraded system
this is why setting [x] "do not update" on Anaconda software selection is CRITICAL

Upgrade Fedora 17 to Fedora 18

Very Early to try this- It will most likly fail

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
