Suggested Installation

Write image to microSD card using Fedora Media Writer (FMW), which is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, Fedora Linux, and Ubuntu Linux. Here are the test steps;

  • download the raw.xz file
  • select and extract, result is a raw file
  • start FMW
  • select "Custom"
  • select the raw file
  • Choose rpi3 from drop-down in FMW
  • Insert microSD in Mini Card Reader and insert in USB port
  • Choose rpi3 from drop-down in FMW
  • Write microSD
  • Insert in Raspberry Pi 3 slot and power up

Fedora SoaS does not include wireless firmware, see the FAQ for reason and a fix. The fix can be applied in sugar terminal; 

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/master/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt -o /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt

My Settings, Network, Collaboration Server can be set to jabber.sugarlabs.org. The default in Sugar 0.110 is not to use jabber.sugarlabs.org unless configured. When jabber.sugarlabs.org server is not running, please write to systems@lists.sugarlabs.org to ask for help.
