[IAEP] IAEP Digest, Vol 109, Issue 34

[Tony Anderson]

Unless something radical has changed in recent weeks, GCompris runs in 
0.110 on all models of the XO.

The procedure is to download the tarball and install in Gnome. Then 
prepare a wrapper for Sugar manually or via Pippy as described for TuxMath.
