== What's on the Velveteen[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velveteen_Rabbit]] XO == |
|||
I spent several weeks playing with upgrades and such and found myself with an overloaded XO, so |
|||
in late June 2008 I wiped the Velveteen XO clean and reloaded 656. Here's what I did to revert this XO back to a "First World, Adult User laptop": |
|||
# Loaded [http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/656/jffs2/ 656] from [[Update_paths#Off-line_.28big_download.29|USB]] |
|||
# [[Sugar-Control-Panel#Setting_The_Time_With_ntpdate|Set the time]] |
|||
# Disable the [[User:Sarah_Elkins#Disabled_Hot_Corners|hot corners]]. |
|||
# Install SeaMonkey, an all-in-one Internet suite ( including firefox and thunderbird) |
|||
#* Installing SeaMonkey requires that you remove its exclusion from the XO's repository list. Follow [[Xfce#Install_Firefox_2|these instructions for Firefox]], but remove SeaMonkey from the list instead of Firefox. |
|||
#* After removing it from the exclusion list, you can install SeaMonkey using the [[Yum|yum package installer]]. (i.e., yum install seamonkey) |
|||
# Install [[Midnight_Commander|Midnight Commander]] using yum. (i.e., yum install mc) |
|||
# Sugar-coat both SeaMonkey using [http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1555.msg12203#msg12203 the scripts by the goddess CatMoran]. |
|||
# Mod Write to enable [http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1111 access to the full AbiWord]. |
|||
# Install the [http://www.socialtext.net/socialcalcxo/index.cgi Sweet SocialCalc] spreadsheet. |
|||
# [http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=2157.msg17032 Change the XO Guy]. |
|||
# Add the [[Fluendo_mp3_decoder|MP3 drivers]] for Totem and Sugar-coat Totem. |
|||
# Connect to a Boston MA [[Community_Jabber_Servers|jabber server]] at bos.ma.us.xochat.org |
|||
# Install the [[Map_(activity)|Map activity]] that ties into GoogleMaps. |
|||
# Install the latest version of [[StarChart|StarChart]]. Apart from the fact that its cooler than heck, I know the guy who wrote it and I made the icon. It may not help me with any work related stuff -- but I want it on my machine. |
|||
# Install the latest version of [[Speak|Speak]]. I have to have something that kids will want to play with. |
|||
# Install the latest version of [[Physics|Physics]]. It can keep my attention for hours, while I'm stuck inside an airplane. Until there's a [[FiftyTwo|solitaire]] game on the XO, this will be my favorite time-kill. |
|||
# Remove Acoustic Tape Measure, EToys, Measure, Memorize, NewsReader, Pippy, TamTam, and Turtle Art. They are all great activities, but I don't use them. |
|||
# Edit /usr/share/sugar/data/activities.defaults to re-order the Activites list at the bottom of the home page (paths can be found at /home/olpc/.sugar/default) |
|||
===Preinstalled stuff I removed=== |
|||
* Etoys -- yum remove etoys |
|||
== Stuff that might be cool to add to the Velveteen XO == |
|||
gqview (yum install gqview)- an image viewer |
|||
