Install Instructions: 
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Trisquel_On_A_Sugar_Toast#Install_Sugar-desktop_0.88_.22SWEETS.22

Be sure to do "update-manager" in sugar root terminal and refresh it to 
get latest updates

This is dextrose-2, thus more then just 0.88. it contains several 
features that still not committed to the trunk + bug fixes from 0.90+
This is alsroot's work, I just tested it and built the VB appliance.
