[sugar] Installing sugar on Debian lenny

Sun Nov 23 12:49:44 EST 2008

Have you tried the Debian repository I built (just for that)?
If your architecture isn't there you can build it from source too.

http://www.sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/Jhbuild/Debian#Debian_repository_for_sugar-jhbuild

Its not the official debian, but its compiled weekly and it works both as
sugar-jhbuild-emulator, and as a window manager at login.
