Packages with Dependencies

• icewm
  • 946KB, but 8.2MB with dependencies
  • bluecurve-icon-theme accounts for 5.2MB
• gcc
  • 8.1MB, 14MB with dependencies:
    • binutils, glibc-{devel,headers},kernel-headers
• wine
  • 29MB in dependencies
• gnumeric
  • 11MB package, 26MB in deps... (I don't think so)

Other

• autoconf automake make cmake imake patch indent
  • ~9.1MB; 9.6MB with m4 and xmlprc-c as dependencies
    • cmake accounts for 6.8MB

Packages that Won't Install Nicely or at All

• kile
  • Needs texlive, which needs an up-to-date libpoppler, but sugar-evince won't let libpoppler update.
    (Plus kile needs KDE base packages and that's way too much for an XO...)

/etc/event.d/

prefdm

• Switch from Sugar to Ice?

tty{1,2}

• Nix paswordless logins?

ttyS0

• Nix serial console?

/usr/bin/olpc-session

• # set mouse and keyboard speed
  • turn on keyclick?? XO won't implement keyclick (and it would've been damn useful on a chiclet keyboard )
• # finally, run sugar
• A way to swap to icewm-session, but: 0-boot-anim-start and 0-boot-anim-start services must be off and WiFi won't work (Network Manager isn't in $PATH because $PATH is busted)

IceWM

• See [OpenBox] instructions (hideously simple)

su
cp /etc/skel/.xsession-example ~/.xsession
nano ~/.xsession

...and the lines reading...

# Uncomment the following line to debug sugar startup problems
#exec xterm

...should be followed by...

icewm-session

(And to think I've been banging my head against the wall all this time)

• 0-boot-anim-start and 0-boot-anim-start are both off and $PATH is still screwy.
• Note: Resist the temptation to uncomment the #exit 0 since I still haven't found a "nice" way to select wireless networks outside of sugar. (Worst case, drop & resume runlevels, I guess).
