[Server-devel] Best XSCE strategy for us in Pacific with XO-1.5 2GB Testing XSCE 3 on XO 1.5 2GB os855

[David Leeming]

Successfully installed XSCE 0.3 on my XO-1.5 (2GB) after first installing XO
release 13.1.0 on an 8GB external SD card and then following the standard
procedure. First time I ran xs-setup there were some errors probably caused
by connectivity issues but when I re-ran xs-setup it successfully completed.
Moodle is there, all looks good. I will put a selection of our Pacific
Islands content and test our normal Moodle configuration (very basic) and
try it out with some teachers in a scheduled training in a couple of weeks
time. 

Also will try and get a 32Gb or 64Gb card and install on that. I noted
Anna's advice and copied the yum cache. When I repeat with the larger card I
will try and use that to reduce downloading.

All going well so far - managed to install the 13.1.0 os on an 8GB SD card
and have proceeded with the XCSE installation up to including the bootstrap.


I assume that as it is on the external SD card anyway, I don't need to run
prep-storage?

I was also wondering, how important it is to have a USB Ethernet adapter
present whilst setting it up and whether it needs to be active (i.e.
connected to an AP) whilst running xs-setup

Finally, is there any performance penalty for running it from the external
SD card?

Thanks all for the great help and information. I will install the 13.1.0 os
on my 1.5 on an external 8GB SD card and then test the XCSE installation,
and let you know.

Ah, good.  Yes, I've heard of that.  Also, as it works fine for
fs-update it makes one think it is not write protected.  I don't know
if there is a specification for the force required to move the tab.
