Hi folks,
because build 8.2.1 is still named as the latest stable software
which is delivered on XO Laptop hardware, we continue to support the
XO-LiveCD.
Version 091203 is now available for download from:
ftp://rohrmoser-engineering.de/pub/XO-LiveCD/
and you can read the documentation in:
ftp://rohrmoser-engineering.de/pub/XO-LiveCD/XO-LiveCD.pdf
The XO_LiveCD project provides a sugar desktop for a wide range of
Intel based PC hardware including netbooks.
It is NOT a new Linux distribution like SoaS
(http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick)!
If you are looking for the latest sugar development you
propably better go there..
This project uses existing OLPC builds which are maintained to run on
XO-Hardware. To make these (unmodified) builds usable on generic PC
hardware we embed them into a runtime-environment which consists of a
recent generic Linux kernel, hardware detection scripts, Xorg configurations
and additional startup scripts. The XO-LiveCD is designed to provide
an easy configurable Live-System regarding activity selections,
language support and installation of additional RPM packages.
There are various ways to run the XO live image:
- boot it from CD
- create and boot a USB pen
- install it on hard disc as an alternate operating system
Release Highlight:
- better hardware support by upgrading to linux kernel 2.6.31
- many activities updates
