<DIV>Anne Gentry suggested we could get help from XO developers with
suggestions for installing an earth sciences program onto our XO. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>This program was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute
(ESRI) for earth scientists. There are Geologists and Engineers who are
interested in using the XO laptop for training young students. They
think they would like to see an earth science program like this added
to their training XOs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ArcExplorer Java Edition for Education (ArcExplorer 9.2) is a downloadable,
lightweight GIS tool for exploring geographic data. ArcExplorer 9.2 can open
projects so work can be shared between users, or between schools. ArcExplorer
9.2 can classify a wide array of image data, project on-the-fly files and use
data from Internet services like the <EM>Geography Network</EM>.
Included with the installation are lessons in Geology, Climate (the basics
for Global Warming), Political Boundaries, Economics, and Forces of
Nature such as hurricanes and earth quakes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are having trouble installing the ArcExplorer 9.2 Linux software
onto the XO. We are able to download the main install file but
it did not auto install after the download. Guess we do not understand
enough about Fedora Linux or Sugar to get started. The program size is only
about 80 megs and we could put the exercises on our 4 gig SD chip, but how to
get started?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please advise</DIV>
