Last week Mel and I went to two schools in Boston to see how Sugar
on a Stick would fare in the wild.
Notes are here:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/GPA
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Shaw_Elementary_School
The short summary is we think a wider range of "Boot Helpers" would
be very helpful.
One thing that we specifically need help with is getting the boot-
helper CD updated from F9.9 to F11.
Marco made the F9.9 version a few months ago:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick
Its under Gary's name, it was lost and Gary found it and uploaded
it, but Marco did the original work.
And we recently decided to loose it again, as neither Simon or
myself could get it to work (at least on the kit we could test with
– did you have any luck at all with it?). It's still in my public
directory if needed, but not on the wiki anymore:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/garycmartin/boot.iso
Yes it worked for me! I just need a version with the most up to
date drivers as I'm hoping (based on some googling) that they will
help some of the issues we saw in our latest tests on the school
computer labs.
Specifically I was definitely able to boot the Gardner school
computer lab computers with the CD and they did not boot without the
CD.
Oh my, OK! I've added it back to the wiki, you were just in time, I
was going to delete it – no one had reported it as currently
working! :-)

Relevant tickets in
dev.sugarlabs.org include 263, 265 for the CD
version
More generally 579, 597 and 598 for the various different types of
boot helpers.
Thanks to much work by many volunteers we are getting close! We have
enthusiastic teachers, especially at the Gardner, chomping at the
bit to try Sugar! Please help if you can.
Thanks!!!!
