If the size of your entire collection is between 5-20MB, you're all set. Otherwise, you'll need to make two bundles-- one bundle of 5-20MB for use on individual laptops, and a second bundle of unlimited (but reasonable) size for inclusion on each school's library server.

Of course, it will eat 63mb on every XO that it Perhaps someone's hit issues when uncompressing it -- perhaps on an older build? I'd recommend making the large bundle and testing that it unpacks without OOM'ing a "loaded" XO (by which I mean, several activities open so as to create memory pressure). cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
