Thank you Jim and Nina for joining me at Noisebridge today. We used the XOs Jim brought and burned a disc using wodim from the command line today for someone coming to the Linux Discussion who I helped find the Debian PowerPC ISO. On BART on the way home I read more from the Floss Manual on creating Sugar activites. I just found that all the code samples from the book are available via git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/myo-sugar-activities-examples/mainline.git

A few days ago I looked into USB stick creation formatting. It seems good old fat16 is the standard partition type and isolinux is the tool used to boot Fedora. I am learning more about the best practices for stick creation but need to reach out to the SoaS folks to ask what results and experiences they have seen from users.

I also gave an Ubuntu CD to a nice lady that seemed very interested to try it at home. I need to scratch my own itch and use wodim to make some more soon. This will give some good opportunity to test Toaster UI designs.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Grant
