* I downloaded Sugar on a Stick and ran it on my computer -- however, the project I'm working with is about the Calculate activity. I found how to download the Calculate activity from your Activities page, however I don't know how to take that downloaded activity and incorporate it into my USB device/environment. So my question is: How can I take a downloaded activity and use it with Sugar on a Stick?

*: ... Scratch lacks Sugar integration but it does have the benefit that you can store and retrieve Scratch in file folders which the user can setup. Unfortunately this does require some help with setting up files under Linux and giving the user write permission on those files. The plus side of all of this is that the user can read and write to a USB memory stick and share Scratch files with Scratch on other computers....  Rated 4 out of 5 stars by Bill on February 28, 2010

*:: Is this correct?  Is such setup also required to use the Scratch included on the Blueberry SoaS?  If so, please add a wiki section containing specific instructions for performing this setup in Terminal.  The Scratch activities page should also link to the instructions. - [[User:David Kergyl|David Kergyl]] 16:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
