[IAEP] VM Appliance of Soas-strawberry works....

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Yes....
It works well. has all of the features of KDE and Sugar. Sugar is 
started from KDE (sugar-emulator) It updates, add and remove programs etc.

If done in VMworkstation it is about 3.5GB and fits on toshiba 4 or 8 GB 
or SD.s Runs well from my ubuntu live usb Boot stick with VMPlayer 
installed.
NO Interference  w/ underlying PC HD and is hardware independent because 
of VMPlayer interface being the same each time.

Faster if installed and run off HD though....

So basically you used "liveinst" to install to the hard disk, then add a 
full KDE desktop, and then run Sugar in a window using sugar-emulator?

I am actually using the install from inside sugar terminal to do an 
actual install. Albeit to a VM Hard disk in VM Workstation:
