I've now looked at that page - still don't understand how it would help me. I think what it describes is fashioning a system (on stick) on which the underlying operating system is Ubuntu, with Sugar as an installed Window Manager (with Activities) on top of that. I don't want Ubuntu as the underlying operating system; I want fedora-11 (rawhide) to be the underlying operating system when my XO-1 is booted. So I don't think that webpage applies to what I want to do. The principal advice that page gives is to use System -> Administration -> Create a USB startup disk -- but if script 'livecd-iso-to-disk' works (see below), I see no need to do that. [Before I ever started, I did make sure the packages mentioned on page http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/OLPC were installed on the system I ran the conversion on.] > apt-get --force-yes -y install sugar-* squashfs-tools > that may provide the missing functionality. Thank you. As Tabitha wrote, if there are packages that the 'livecd-iso-to-xo' script needs, they should be documented. After I installed the package 'squashfs-tools' on my Jaunty system, script 'livecd-iso-to-disk' ran to completion (though giving out all those error messages, plus an error pop-up window by Ubuntu saying "Unable to mount media"). Script 'livecd-iso-to-xo' still fails, the same way as Tabitha described it. I *really* don't want to install 'sugar-*' on my Ubuntu system - so I shall not be trying that. At least now I can boot the latest Soas2 20090503 from an USB stick. On my XO-1, its text characters need a magnifying glass to be seen. The first thing I had to do was to add '14' to the line "font = " in file .sugar/default/terminalrc, then go to Home -> My Settings -> Frame and fool with the Activation Delay -- that offered me a (Sugar) restart, which I took. The result is that the text characters in Terminal can now be seen (though they're still faint). mikus _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
