[Sugar-devel] SoaS with Sugar 0.87.2 coming to a system near you

[Sebastian Dziallas]

Hi everybody,

by popular request, there's now a Sugar on a Stick snapshot with the 
latest Sugar development release available. Please note that this 
snapshot is already part of our way to Sugar on a Stick v3.

It's still based on F12 for stability reasons, though (this will change 
in the development cycle). But it incorporates already a number of 
significant changes which are part of the change to the SoaS v3 builds.

The build is available here:

http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/soas-3-20091228.iso

Please follow the Blueberry instructions to put it on your flash drive.

You can even run it on your XO-1 from a flash drive (NAND installation 
possibilities are being evaluated) by using liveusb-creator.

Afterwards, plug it into your XO-1 and type: "boot u:\boot\olpc.fth"

However, a known issue is (on the XO-1 only) that the X session tends to 
crash when trying to scroll. Help with debugging this would be very welcome.

Thanks and happy testing!

P.S.: Enjoy your holidays!
