<pre wrap=""><!---->I just added my tests to it.

<pre wrap="">The short
version is that everything's working except collaboration (which has a
known fix, see below) and Read (not because the Activity doesn't work,
but because there's nothing to read with it and it's therefore hard to
test/quickly-start-using).
In terms of getting Mirabelle ready to go out the door, right now we need:
* this telepathy-gabble update,

to be pushed to the Fedora updates repo – it has +3 karma but is still
in testing, and must be pushed before Tuesday; without it, collaboration
in SoaS does not work at all.

Collaboration over the internet:
Sebastian found this and it works:

<pre>I just discovered that you can copy paste the "telepathy-gabble-0.9.11-1.fc14.i686.rpm" </pre>

<pre>file into the opened USB folder on a PC Desktop from where you have previously downloaded it to the PC Desktop.
Do the same with the SugarClone script:</pre>
<pre><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone">http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone</a></pre>
<pre>Then when you boot from the USB, You have a self duplicating USB</pre>
<pre wrap="">In sugar-terminal:
su
rpm -Uvh /mnt/live/telepathy-gabble-0.9.11-1.fc14.i686.rpm
Reboot the USB and Presence service will work.
and then:
su
/mnt/SugarClone will duplicate the customized USB, with the fixed presence service, to a 2nd USB of the same type.

This will have to be done for testing until the update gets pushed into the soas spin build.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Step by step procedure to use the liveinst command in sugar terminal
(Anaconda) to write a 4GB USB with a ext4 (real file system):
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category_talk:Live_USB#How_to_install_to_a_4GB_USB_using_liveinst.28ANACONDA.29_from_SoaS">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category_talk:Live_USB#How_to_install_to_a_4GB_USB_using_liveinst.28ANACONDA.29_from_SoaS</a>
* tested on soas-i386-20100501.07.iso as a 2GB USB today' (Minimum size
of 4GB is required as it does not use a Compressed filesystem with
overlay like the live USB.)
I wish this could be more simply scripted...It is NOT for novices to try.
This needs to be simplified!
The resulting USB is VERY stable as it uses a ext4 Journaled File system
and will not fill up easily.
