[Sugar-devel] [SoaS] Read in SoaS with Fedora 13- use evince and 2nd USB

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Sebastian:

You missed my point:

evince works.

I just installed  evince i686 2.31.3-4.20100621git.fc14  on a 
soas-i386-20100623.16.iso 4GB USB

su
yum install evince

It is able to easily read e-books loaded on a 2nd USB.
This USB can be drag-drop loaded from the journal after using get e 
books application, or externally loaded to the USB on another PC.
All one has to do is enter evince in terminal to start Program and then
File/Open/(external 2nd USB) and select the e-book Postscript / DjVu / 
Tiff/Comic books / or PDF documents.

Nice Reader Application

This looks like a nice work around for a broken read application.
