<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for the info. In Mango Lassi, indeed,
user-installed activities *cannot* be erased. I've filed a
ticket:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Strangely, the latest nightly Fedora 15 builds work
correctly in this regard.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Apparently, quite a bit of my problem was related
to running out of protected memory on my USB sticks. Perhaps a warning should be
posted somewhere that "more protected memory (or larger capacities) on SoaS
sticks is better" - since SoaS/Fedora is getting larger, and now that
pre-installed activities cannot be easily deleted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>(I note, for the record, that most pre-installed
activities *are* eraseable in Strawberry, all except Etoys on Blueberry, and
some on Mirabelle. This option freed up space and allowed for greater
user-customization - a desirable situation in *some* cases
certainly.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Just curious: are different versions (i.e.,
Strawberry, Blueberry, Mirabelle, etc.) of SoaS tailored to specific
deployments? If not, why are there such variations in installed
activities and whether they are regarded as permanent or not?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>The only activities where deleting is disabled are pre-installed ones.
The ones you install should be able to be deleted. If not, this is a
bug.<BR><BR>Regarding the decision to make pre-installed activities permanent,
it is driven by Sugar deployments: teachers requested that certain activities
always be available. Which ones is a deployment x deployment decision. For
SoaS, we have a very limited set of pre-installed activities, but as the
Fedora image grows, the user-space shrinks.<BR><BR>FWIW, from the Terminal
Activity, you can delete the pre-loaded activities in
/usr/share/sugar<BR><BR>regards.<BR><BR>-walter <BR></DIV></DIV>-- <BR>Walter
