Hi All<br><br>Just an update on this in case it is useful to others.<br><br>Following Jerry's suggestion, I wrote a script (stored on USB) that installs a new version of the file:<br><br> /usr/share/sugar/data/activities.defaults<br>
<br>containing the set of activites that we want, and also removes (renames) the file:<br><br> /home/olpc/.sugar/default/favorite_activities<br><br>On rebooting, the favorite_activities file is recreated from the new activities.defaults<br>
and we get just the list of favorites in the Ring that we want. No other user interaction is required.<br><br>Regards<br>Terry<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 5:55 PM, Jerry Vonau <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jvonau@shaw.ca" target="_blank">jvonau@shaw.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
/usr/share/sugar/data/activities.defaults<br>
