- webkitgtk3 is required for sugar to work in f24
Here are some ways to get .108 sugar:
You can also use the everthing netinstall to install sugar-desktop

- look for Software selection in installer then choose sugar desktop environment
- Checksum:
or use in another f24 Desktop Environment:
"dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop-environment" "dnf install sugar-runner webkitgtk3
- (webkitgtk3 is required for sugar to work in f24)
sugar-runner only works in GNOME on Xorg
- sugar-desktop works in GNOME as separate login

warning
- 12/14/2016
- There is a problem using LMC this way:
<adamw> satellit: you really *really* shouldn't be running lmc directly on the system with --no-virt anyway <adamw> it's a fundamentally risky thing to do
Make a remix
- edit the bottom of the flat-fedora-live-soas.ks
- that you produce with ksflatten (above)
- in this section of the flattened.ks:
%packages
- add a program (add name)
- - delete a program ( put - in front)
- put # in front of listed program to not install it
- See this page for more details on remixes
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Build_Your_Own_Remix_with_Fedora:
- Build takes a long time wait for completion
- ends with:

copr update to 0.109 sugar
- copr installed in f24 workstation with a sugar-desktop installed (0.108)
- I see sugar 0.109 after dnf update and reboot. (satellit 06/05/2016)
- Install of sugar 0.109:
- 12/20/2016
- Log of install ^
- I will be doing the release management for the 0.110 cycle. Please see the timeline [1]. I would appreciate any comments on the timeline.
- I've also setup a COPR for sugar, which I hope to maintain throughout this cycle. Are there any other packaging services that we should have to push testing releases to?
- Is there a service for automatic building of live SoaS images? XO images? Let's make this the most tested sugar release ever!
- Thanks,Sam"
- works with sugar-runner install as 2nd Desktop Environment in f24 cinnamon/gnome

wayland in rawhide
- Workstation now is using wayland by default
Users will be able to disable wayland by setting WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm/custom.conf but there will no longer be two separate menu
- update:
- GDM Menu updated to:
gnome (wayland gnome-classic x-gnome
- Wayland By Default
- WARNING
- Do not use any fedora 24 (rawhide) installs for anything but testing.

- For latest builds:
- Alternate: (Still f23)
- How to test if you are using wayland
- 1) You can check if you're on wayland by running
$ ls -l $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayland-0
- if it returns a socket you're probably using wayland.
- 2)'xrandr' is easier to type... Output names have WAYLAND in them under wayland.
