| + | #REDIRECT [[Emulating the XO]] |
| - | This page will help you get a look at the XO software, by running a "virtual XO" in an emulator.
| + | |
| - | Another option is burning a [[LiveCd]].
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == What to expect ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | This "virtual XO" was created as a software development tool. It is not intended for general use, and many things will not work. It is "just to get a taste" (and to help software developers). With time and people constraints, we are focused tightly on the real XO.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | *The camera and video will not work.
| + | |
| - | *Things are slower than on the actual machine. If you are unable to install qemu's kqemu accelerator, very much slower.
| + | |
| - | *You will see a snapshot of the past. The instructions will have you download the "latest stable build", which is sometimes quite a few weeks old. Development is very rapid. So things will be missing or different compared with the present.
| + | |
| - | *While rapidly maturing, this is still "alpha" software.
| + | |
| - | *TamTam, the popular music program, will likely not work (no sound).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Two steps ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | First, download [http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/LATEST-STABLE-BUILD/ext3/olpc-redhat-stream-development-ext3.img.bz2 olpc-redhat-stream-development-ext3.img.bz2]. It is in [http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/LATEST-STABLE-BUILD/ext3/ this directory].
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Second, get the qemu emulator which will run the image:
| + | |
| - | *[[Using QEMU on Windows XP|Windows]]
| + | |
| - | *[[Emulating the XO/Quick Start/Mac|Mac]]
| + | |
| - | *[[Emulating the XO/Quick Start/Linux|Linux]]
| + | |
| - | *[[Emulating the XO/Quick Start/Linux#FreeBSD|FreeBSD]]
| + | |
| - | *[[Emulating the XO/Quick Start/Linux#Yellow Dog Linux on PlayStation3|Yellow Dog Linux on PlayStation3]]
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | You should now have a running "virtual XO".
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Running for the first time ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | [[Sugar Instructions]] will help you get oriented. Though you may not need it.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Getting networking working requires some extra steps. See [[Emulating the XO/Help and tips#Network setup|Network setup]].
