Line 60: − # [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/598 Ticket 598]] and [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/907 Ticket 907]] . We are having what are probably driver issues with both old EVO-D500 computers (network) and the Macs (Video Card Support). In this particular situation we can install software on the school computers. Thus a promising solution is a Virtual Machine (probably VirtualBox) solution that will allow students to put in their USB Sticks and use all the personal data from the Sticks so they can use any computer. To do this we need to change the way we put data onto the USB and use different partitions for the boot and the data (Ticket 907). − # [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/912 Ticket 912] We also hope that there are drivers that Fedora does not include that will help solve our network problems so we need to be able to install and test them. − # [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/579 Ticket 579]]. We have several donated computers. A requirement for the donations was that we wiped the harddrives. Thus we also need an installable operating system that is basically just a "boot-helper" and again all student data is on the USB. + − '''Can't get Computer Lab Machines to Boot from USB''' - The BIOS says it should be trying to boot from the USB but its not looking at the USB. A google search confirms that this is not a sugar problem, its an EVO D500 problem. I'm hoping we find a solution. http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/599+ + + + + + − == Enhancement Tickets ==+ − The following tickets would be helpful for this deployment.+ + + − * Tux Paint for the younger kids to play with this summer. - 886 and 887 − * An installable Boot Helper. When people donate computers that have hard-drives, but they want the hard drive wiped,we should install on the hard-drive a boot environment that always looks for a USB - 579 − * A boot helper on a floppy disk. It's a real pain to use CD boot-helpers. You have to turn on the computer, eject the CD, put in the boot-helper, restart the computer and repeat the process when you turn it off. It would be much easier to have a floppy disk that we could just leave with the computer. No one uses the floppy anymore so it could just sit in the computer and people could push it in when they wanted to boot into Sugar. 597 − * The computer lab computers claim to be able to boot from USB but aren't. We are trying to figure out why in Ticket 599. − * Boot Helper Floppy - This is easier then a CD because the computer has to be turned on to open the CD Drawer and put in the CD then you have to turn it off again and reboot.http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/597

The following tickets will help this deployment.
* Backup and Restore of user data on a USB Stick
* Clone a Stick

* [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/579 Ticket 579]]. We have several donated computers. A requirement for the donations was that we wiped the harddrives. Thus it would be great if we had an installable operating system enabled quick user switching between USBs.
* [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/598 Ticket 598]] and [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/907 Ticket 907]] . One way to enable faster switching between Windows and Sugar is a Virtual Machine solution that will allow students to put in their USB Sticks and use all the personal data from the Sticks so they can use any computer. To do this we need to change the way we put data onto the USB and use different partitions for the boot and the data (Ticket 907).
