Sort Order:
On further reflection this is almost certainly a bad idea, because of the additional space this will take on the XO. The XO has only 256 MB of built-in Flash memory. Installing this bundle would more than double the amount of space Etoys takes (Etoys4 without VM 50 MB, without sources still 30 MB).
Upgrading the rpm is the only sensible way IMHO. The spec say the XO has 1024 MB of Storage (http://laptop.org/en/laptop/hardware/specs.shtml)
But one issue is the compressed file system. A big file of 40 - 50 MB can be really slow to open and give a awful experience. I guess we have to test before we release... |

Make a Etoys4.xo bundle
a few points summarized from there:
1) this is a request to enable using etoys 4 (latest) on XO 1.0 older OSes (8.2.1)
2) It was discussed how to achieve the install.
3) One suggestion was from RPM :
[15:52:26] <bertf> wget http://etoys.laptop.org/rpms/etoys-4.0.2339-1.noarch.rpm
[15:52:29] <bertf> su
[15:52:40] <bertf> rpm -Uvh etoys-4.0.2339-1.noarch.rpm
[15:52:45] <bertf> that's it
4) Follow up discussion - it is better for users if we can give them a new .XO, with image
5) It was discussed this new XO should NOt be forced upon all to download (too large)
6) It was suggested we create an XO, name it appropriately, and put on a download site (squeakland?). I am suggesting etoys4-113-for-sugar-8.2.1-large-install.xo
7) Should this XO contain:
- .image - yes
- .changes ?
- .sources ?
- squeak-vm (this cannot be done in an XO as far as I can tell
8. the etoys4-113-for-sugar-8.2.1-large-install.xo needs to be tested on 8.2.1 OLPC-XO 1.0.
9. testing must include non-english version as well. watch for a slowness bug!!
