I just tried this on an Intel Classmate 3 (2goPC) with Windows XP Home.
Booting from a Kingston DataTraveler 2GB USB drive gets through the Fedora
progress bar. Screen goes black and stalls with this line in upper left and
a blinking underscore cursor on the next line:

Thanks Caryl!
When you talk to the tech savvy ones please ask them to help us test it so
we can get the bugs out and get it "Grannie ready!" There has been amazing
progress in the last few weeks but I want to keep people excited not angry
that it doesn't work, so please manage expectations. ;)
Greetings from the CUE (Computer Using Educators) conference in Palm Springs.
There has been a lot of interest in SoaS here. Some folks I have talked with
are quite tech savvy and will probably have no problem going to our web site
and downloading the software successfully to run on their comp
Hey everyone, I'm jumping on kind of late but here's my take.
I don't think "sugar" is actually a very competitive term, even if it is
a generic word. SugarLabs.org is already on the front page of google (6)
from what I'm seeing (with a search for "sugar") on multiple data
center searches. I d
These comments have been very useful - thank you.
I apologize for the long post below, but I feel the subjects are very
important for the project, and with a week to go until the media
launch we need to sort ourselves out.

Hi folks,
there's another snapshot of soas-2 ready for testing! There will be
another snapshot on this Sunday to have an up2date image for bug
triaging sessions. It's really important for us to get as much feedback
as possible in this state of soas-2, since we'd like to get a release

minor point: subject is "CamelCase". Better would have been "camel case".
"camelCase" might be more descriptive, although "Camel Casing" is frequently
seen, e.g.:

We were just talking about that on IRC. I think we need to fork:
(1) simple instructions regarding the current stable 8.2 OLPC build (767?)
(2) a word about the upcoming 8.2.1 release
(3) simple instructions regarding SoaS on an SD card for the OLPC

No, unfortunately they will all have to be moved by hand or with a bot.

My preference would be to just rename the pages, say ActivityTeam/* ->
Activity Team/*
That way all future pages are more likely to be named correctly, and
the rename tool automatically makes a redirect page.

For those who want to help, making a redirect page basically gives a wiki

The continuing propagation of CamelCase words in the Sugar Labs wiki is
working against those trying use search tools to find information.
This seems to be a big disadvantage, particularly now, as we expect many new
visitors.
Let's discourage it, and start to re-factor the wiki title space, at lea

Nice idea, but it's not google-compatible. Rather unlikely that "sugar
chocolate" will lead one to discover 0.82 ... It's too bad "Sugar" is
such a generic word :(
