=== Status ===
* sugar-chroot-0.1 released: see [http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/mstone/sugar-chroot sugar-chroot]
=== Purpose ===
''You want to hack sugar. You don't want to fuss around. '''You want sugar-chroot.'''''
=== Usage ===
As excerpted from the '''[http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/mstone/sugar-chroot/plain/README README]''':
sugar-chroot consists of simple scripts. Download and unpack them like so:
=== X11 ===
NV=sugar-chroot-0.1
curl http://dev.laptop.org/~mstone/releases/SOURCES/$NV.tar.xz | tar Zxf $NV.tar.xz
cd $NV
To use them, pick a supported distro:
DISTRO=debian
DISTRO=fedora
To configure:
echo $DISTRO > conf/distro
$EDITOR conf/$DISTRO.mk
Then run
sudo make r/distro
to install your chroot.
=== History ===
See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Development_Team/Chroot&oldid=36911 for the manual instructions which sugar-chroot automates.
