[Sugar-devel] Fw: Sugar on a Stick - and OLPCsound

[Art Hunkins]

Thanks for the hint, Peter. I am eager to try csound 5.10.1 as it contains a 
feature that 5.08 lacks, and that I'd really like to use (i.e., multiple 
MIDI controllers).

However, as a newbee to Linux, I've no idea how this is done, particularly 
about how to do this within SoaS.

Hopefully, I'd only need to download csound 5.10.1 somehow and install it to 
SoaS. (Incidentally, my primary OS is Windows XP.)

Can you point me to basic instructions?

Also: any idea as to when SoaS will incorporate Csound 5.10.1? (That would 
be *great* for me!)
