If you one want to use XO for surfing, you can use the Opera browser without having to run Sugar.
Remove Sugar
To prevent Sugar from starting up, edit /etc/inittab and comment out this line by adding '#' at the beginning:
x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/olpc-dm
The line should therefore be:
#x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/olpc-dm
Restart network
When Sugar is not running, the network must be restarted manually.
Download Opera
Download a RedHat version of Opera:
wget ...
and install it
rpm -i ...
Edit .xinitrc
To start Opera automatically when the X server is started, edit .xinitrc in the home directory. The file should contain only one line:
opera
Start the X server
startx
Configure Opera
To increase performance, Opera should be configured to run without disk caching. To turn it off, select Tools->Preferences->Advanced->History and set Disk Cache to off.
