[Sugar-devel] SoaS v5 status

[Art Hunkins]

FWIW, I can attest that recent nightly builds of SoaS, including those with 
Fedora 15, are nicely installed to USB sticks by Live USB Creator (on 
Windows XP). My activities (Our Music, SunMoonMusic, and the two FileMix's) 
all run correctly on these builds.

The two most obvious remaining problems for the public release of SoaS 5 
are: 1) the "keyring" login, which requires 9 clicks to cancel/get past; 2) 
the Browse activity, which doesn't open. The latter means that no activities 
can be downloaded, of course. (I'm fully aware that these two issues are 
well-known; I'm only trying to vote them toward the front of the pack.)

I was not able to initially login the way Peter suggested, but rather had to 
use this variant:
at the login window: CTRL-ALT-F2
rpm -e sugar (no ENTER)
CTRL-ALT-F8
click on Live System User window
click on Login in the following window

The next time you boot, there are no logins at all.
