Uruguay: I am told that kids with Classmates have Ubuntu, and no sudo restriction, they will do fine, I will follow up eventually to make a detailed how-to in the TI wiki Younger kids (I believe until 6th grade) have been given XOs running a Uruguayan mod of the OLPC OS. Among the mods is a block to disable their sudo access. These kids would be the goal of any "forced" Sugarization, and the cause of this thread... Other Countries: Apparently elsewhere there were no OS mods, whether out of wisdom or not, we don't know, but those are the lucky ones. Again, no further need to do much, they can use sudo yum install, and that way they have more and better opportunities for their own education. <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 12/04/2012 01:34 PM, Bert Freudenberg wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:4FEBF886-D1E3-4AE5-9458-EB14FCC91529@freudenbergs.de" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">But really, we should continue this discussion on the developers list. - Bert -</pre> </blockquote> Certainly, as it pertains to developing a solution. Not to disagree, let me just mention that we sort of needed to understand the goal, which, basically, is: 1) non-sudo install of certain binaries, namely msp430-binutils msp430mcu libmpc msp430-gcc msp430-libc mspdebug 2) non-sudo run mspdebug in Terminal Thank you all! As I said at some moment, due to the Classmate availability, this no longer has as much priority for me as it used to. Nevertheless, there just might be a brilliant geek-in-the-bud in a 5th grade class in Uruguay whose world would change and he would change the world by being able to learn now to manage MSP430 mcus. VERY long shot, many other issues to achieve that, but then, who knows? </body> </html>
