<div dir="ltr">Sounds like a solid approach to an easier path to installing Sugar. I'll try testing it this weekend.

I have autism and seizure disorder and have contributed prior work to Sugar Labs, including changes to the "About My Computer" configuration panel to render the GNU GPL in a monospace font (because it is a plain text file with a 79-character margin). According to Red Hat's Brand Standards, Mohandas Gandhi said "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win." (Though no evidence was found that Gandhi actually said this.) This quote inspired Red Hat's journey as a company, from the open-source outlier in a Windows 98 world to the provider of technology serving as the backbone of many of today's Web sites. What if we said the same thing about the journey of Sugar Labs? What if Sugar Labs broke through a world of American educational computing now dominated by Chrome OS? I believe the best way that Sugar Labs can do so is to market its software to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). By doing so, the Sugar Learning Platform can achieve a wider market share in more-developed countries and be accessible to more students, teachers, and parents. In order to aid with doing so, I am hereby releasing under the GNU General Public License, version 3 (or any later version), a script (called "Sugar Factory") which will install and configure the Sugar Learning Platform to run on any desktop, laptop, notebook, or tablet computer in the process of manufacturing or preparation for secondhand sale. This script uses a hard-coded partitioning scheme where all files reside in the root partition--except, for UEFI-compliant systems, a 512-megabyte EFI System Partition will be created at the beginning of the disk and mounted at /boot/efi. (GPT partitioning is not supported.) Original equipment manufacturers that use this script may either flash the operating system (which is a modified version of Sugar on a Stick) directly to each device, or create an intermediate image and flash that (which is a /lot/ faster). Also, they may make whatever modifications they desire (or none at all) to the finished operating system, and may choose to use the Sugar, Python Powered, and/or Fedora Remix logos on the packaging and/or other promotional materials of products that contain it. I have also attached the license and the output from my last test run of this script (which was successful).
