Hi Basir,

I don't see a way to remove the palette option without changing the
Sugar code, but if you change the file permissions so that the user
'olpc' cannot remove the activity directory, the erasing operation
will fail and the activity will remain installed. Note that this will
cause activity updates to fail, in case that's an issue for you.

"sudo chown root.root -R ~/Activities/Write.activity"

This command will make that Write is not erasable from the Sugar palette.

Please note that the most appropriate forum to direct these questions
is sugar-devel: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel .

HTH,

Tomeu
