Hi All,<br><br>Semi-techie teacher here (me) has a crazy idea. Mel asked me to send it along for further discussion on the SoaS list. I was hoping to have this be something I could use at a tech fair for teachers next month, but better later than never if it is possible.<br><br>Caryl<br><br>DVD costs more, but would work. <br><br>> Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:45:06 -0400<br>> From: mel@melchua.com<br>> To: cbigenho@hotmail.com<br>> CC: sdz@sugarlabs.org; sdaly.be@gmail.com<br>> Subject: Re: Crazy SoaS Idea<br>> <br>> Hi, Caryl - would you mind forwarding this convo to the soas list? <br>> Thomas Gilliard has been having a few similar ideas and perhaps there's <br>> a chance to work together here.<br>> <br>> The biggest problem I see with this is that the files needed to do it <br>> wouldn't fit on a CD - but maybe it could be done on a DVD. If so, that <br>> would definitely make a nice project for someone to pick up.<br>> <br>> --Mel<br>> <br>> On 03/26/2010 01:29 AM, Caryl Bigenho wrote:<br>> ><br>> > Hi Mel, Sebastian and Sean,<br>> ><br>> > Here is a crazy mindstorm for you...<br>> ><br>> > Is it possible to create a single CD that has the SoaS file download<br>> > that could be transferred to a computer that could then make the USB<br>> > version... and at the same time (same CD) have the live CD version that<br>> > could be bootable on PCs?<br>> ><br>> > Could these files be downloaded on a Mac, put into a Burn folder, and<br>> > burned on a CD that would work on a PC even if it didn't play on a Mac?<br>> ><br>> > In other words something like this:<br>> ><br>> > Regular Live CD to boot... but with a separate file folder on the CD<br>> > with the SoaS image that could be accessed to create the SoaS USB<br>> > stick???
