Hi, Martin,<br><br>Thanks for your reply. When you said to "just install Flash", your brevity actually was helpful. It made me think that maybe getting FlashPlayer to run correctly on Sugar is a non-issue by now. I plan to retry the Flash and browser downloads from the wiki. They seem to have been improved since I first started working on this last year. <br>
<br>In any case, I've said my thoughts about Flash on the XO, and probably didn't change anyone's mind about anything. 'Nuf said.<br><br>You're right about my role. Sonya's the educator. I'm the geek.<br>
<br>Let's all get back to making things work, rather than just talking about them.<br><br>Stan<br><br>===================<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 8:28 PM, Martin Langhoff <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martin.langhoff@gmail.com">martin.langhoff@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
sorry I'm brief (to the unfortunate point of rudeness) -- I am working<br>
30hr days in a 60K deployment. Which happens to want to use Flash. In<br>
fact I just helped the local team find <a href="http://adobe.com" target="_blank">adobe.com</a> and we are adding the<br>
relevant rpm to the build.<br>
<br>
I find it puzzling that there is so much over the top drama. Situation<br>
is simple.<br>
<br>
"Mainstream users" get their XO from a deployment -- it's up to the<br>
deployment team to define the OS (inc Flash), and they have no prob<br>
rolling it into the image.<br>
<br>
Other users (those that get OLPC's images) are usually developers...<br>
who can hopefully rpm -i MyFaveRuntime-1.2.4.rpm with no problem.<br>
Sonya has you as resident geek I can guess, so it is up to you to do<br>
the rpm magic -- I have similar duties at home as the resident geek.<br>
<br>
There is the G1G1 crowd as a 3rd group. If you care about them, get a<br>
Flash enthusiasts gang and spin an image with Flash (get Adobe's ok,<br>
of course).<br>
<br>
There is no drama to justify these huge discussions. Let's see the end<br>
of this thread.<br>
