What is an Activity Pack?
An Activity Pack is a collection of Activity Bundles.
Existing Activity Packs
All activity packs should have a descriptive page in Category:Activity Pack. Here are some notable ones:
Installing an activity pack
To use an activity pack:
- Download its zip file.
- Unzip it onto the root of a USB flash drive.
- Insert the USB flash drive into your XO and reboot.
- Hold the X game key while booting if your machine is not a secure XO (its firmware is unlocked).
Linux will boot and unpack each of the bundles into place.
- Another future option for installing 'activity pack' bundles, from console use xo-get.
Creating your own activity pack
The create-customization-key Python script will create a customization key bundles/ directory for G1G1 (or Mexico, or Peru, or "all"). You should first unpack a customization key image on to a USB disk, and then in the root of the USB disk:
python create-customization-key G1G1
The advantage of creating the key yourself is that you get the very latest activities from the Update.1 repository, as opposed to the ones that were latest at the time the most recent Activity Pack was created.
