Fedora Live CD for Sugar

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

I have:

* A livecd for Fedora 10 devel (rawhide) that allows a Sugar 0.82 boot 
option via GDM.  We're missing activites, but as those make their way into 
rawhide for F10, we will close these gaps quickly.

* A kickstart file that can be used by any Fedora user to generate such an 
image trivially.

So.  Where shall we host them?  Somewhere in Fedora-land, or somewhere in 
Sugar-land?

Why not both, and torrent it up on http://linuxtracker.org/ ?

Can I see the ks to see if it will play well in the appliance tooling?

Sure.  Here it is.  At some point I'll upload it into git somewhere.

I built an image for this which can be run in en/kvm.  To use it:

1) Download [1]
2) Uncompress it
3) run virt-image sugar-rawhide.xml

This will default to 1024 megs of memory. If you would prefer to build 
it locally:

1) Download [2]
2) Install the appliance-tools rpm (in f9 and rawhide)
3) run appliance-creator -f qcow2 --vmem 1024 --name sugar-rawhide 
--config sugar-f10.ks

Can we put the kickstart somewhere in git? (on fedorahosted I guess).

I don't have a strong feeling about where the image itself should be
hosted. Maybe on sugarlabs.org for now and the final F10 livecd in
both lands...

To elaborate a bit on my thinking... While we are developing the
images we host them "unofficially" at sugarlabs so that our testing
team and people interested to try sugar out has an easy way to do it.
When the images are ready, we can "officially" host them in Fedora
land. We should aspire to become an official Fedora spin like KDE at
some point :)

fedorahosted.org/spin-kickstarts is the spin sig git repository if you 
want to host the ks files there.

Sounds good to me!

Any reason your ks is installing GNOME? The image would be much
smaller without...

As announced in OLPC SIG's most recent meeting, I've now uploaded a 
first image here:

http://sdz.fedorapeople.org/olpc/sugar-spin.iso

We're still missing some activities - for now, there should be Write, 
Chat, Terminal and Log on the spin.

The updated kickstart file is located here:

http://sdz.fedorapeople.org/kickstart/fedora-livecd-sugar.ks

I removed Gnome to save space, though.

I'll submit the kickstart to the Spin SIG for technical approval, so 
that we can get it in the spin-kickstarts repo on GIT (as Rahul pointed 
out).

Where does fedora-live-base.ks come from? Is it an F10 only thing?
Trying to build the image on Fedora 9...

Have you checked out the spin kickstar pool yet?

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins/KickstartPool

It has the file you are looking for.
