I just made a 4 GB USB with persistence from soas-i386-20100623.03.iso
In testing:
Read 86, it still fails to start
log showed unable to find/open evince
I then did 2 experiments:
1-)
su
# yum install evince
installed evince i686 0:2.31.3-4.20100621git.fc14
In sugar-terminal:
$ evince
starts evince program - able to open files of type:
Postscript
PDF
Tiff
DiVue
All
Tried to open a e-book in sugar-journal
evince could NOT ACCESS JOURNAL.
2_)
Shutdown Stick,
Inserted into PC
drag dropped some .pdf files from SCK-DVD into USB when it opened on
the PC Desktop
Rebooted stick
In sugar terminal:
$evince
Program Starts
Opened pdf files in /mnt/live/:
(This is the directory that opens on the PC Desktop)
-Cautions with using Live USB's.pdf
-Flyer_englisch.pdf
(had 2 separate color pdf instances running at same time,one with
each of the above .pdfs)
Conclusions:
Why not sugarize evince and use it directly as a way to read e-books and
.pdf's?
Need access to sugar journal for it
or
let e-book readers download files to /mnt/live
