[SoaS] Sugar-Creation-Kit DVD (preliminary version) is available to download for testing and comments

[Thomas C Gilliard]

I just did a download of the Sugar-Creation-Kit DVD.iso here and it 
burns correctly.

Please download it and test it. i am sure there are many improvements 
that can be added.

Note that this is a preliminary version and needs polishing.

I have tried to include a compilation of the most useful software, and 
instructions on how to apply it' so that people off line can make soas 
sticks and add activities to them.

Note:the DVD includes  111 .xo activities from ASLO that can be copied 
to a 1 GB USB and copy-pasted to the sugar journal as a way to install them.

This file can be downloaded separately: 
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/ASLO-xo.tar.gz

I did this project visualizing the following use case:

"sneaker-net",off internet, locations and fire walled schools.

(A side benefit may be that it will lessen the load on sugarlabs servers 
once the DVD's are distributed, as it easy to make copies locally)
