[SoaS] Fwd: Re: Tux Paint Kids Drawing Contest | OLPC | SugarLabs

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Look at:

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Trisquel_On_A_Sugar_Toast

I just used a booted 2GB USB [1] of Trisquel 4.5.1-sugar to download Tux 
Paint 5.0 from ASLO.

It works fine. Tux Paint 5.0 took about 2 minutes to download and one 
has to be patient as it downloads.
I monitored the download progress in the sugar journal. As the ASLO 
countdown timer seems to run to zero too rapidly.

I suggest either method[1] or [2].

downloaded however) [1]
