[dundee] Sugar O.S.

[Lee Hughes]

I've acutally used this in qemu...and it was a good laugh

the networking worked out of the box  and I started chatting to someone,
somehow...

they python integration looks cool, and the network objects that python seems
to be able to use look fantastic..

best of all, press a key and you get the source code...

I hear windows can do the same thing, but I can't figure what keys to press.
can, someone windows expert old there please help me.


Laters,
Lee

down modified version of Fedora for use in the OLPC. We can explore it
in Qemu, VirtualBox & VMware. Download the latest stable ext3
development release (653)
olpc-redhat-stream-ship.2-devel_ext3.img.bz2 from:
http://xs-dev.laptop.org/cscott/olpc/streams/ship.2/build653-20071214_1654/devel_ext3/

The file has now to be decompressed with the command:
$ bzip2 -d  olpc-redhat-stream-ship.2-devel_ext3.img.bz2
At this stage change the file name to something like sugar***.img,
file size about 1GB.
This can now be used in Qemu, for it to be used in VirtualBox or
VMware it has to be converted with the command:
$ qemu-img convert sugar***.img -O vmdk sugar***.vmdk
The .vmdk image can now be used in VirtualBox via file/virtual disk
manager where it is added as a hard disk. If anyone tries this can
they let me know what they think of sugar and if you get any problems
(so I can compare notes with my VM).
