Kuku/Sugar Install Notes

These are some notes on the steps taken to do an install of Fedora 7, and sugar on a dell machine that was connected to the internet via a home router.

Install F7

Downloaded the minimal cd installer at

   ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/images/boot.iso

as listed at

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/sn-which-files.html

Burned the .iso file onto a cd using macs diskutility (drag the image into the diskutility bar on the left, highlight it, then choose burn to disk from one of the dropdown menus).

Inserted the cd and rebooted. Clicked through the menu as outlined at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/fedora-install-guide-en/fc5/ch-other-install-methods.html . Used

Web site name: fedora.mirror.iweb.ca
Fedora directory: /releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/

Installed with default partition layout in remaining space. (When trying to resize the windows partition I messed up the PBR of /dev/sda2 so Windows cannot boot.) Added /dev/sda2 to the grub loader. Instarred Office and Productivity, Software Development and Web Server 'packages' by checking boxes on the menu.

Once installation complete, rebooted, only allowed ssh with firewall settings. Then updated packages and rebooted.

Install Sugar

Followed instructions on Sugar_on_Fedora_7 - al went smoothly.

Made directory ~/olpc in my user account. Followed instructions on Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild.

Got error message associated with penguinTV:
