Sugar XO Running in Vmware Fusion

Just some eye candy. This is the very easy to use Redhat livecd version of Sugar:

And this is a terminal session ssh’d into the running image:

SSH'd into Redhat Sugar XO Image

Based on this working pretty well, any fiddling I do with Sugar, for the time being, will most likely be done with this livecd image. I’m going to burn it and boot off of it to see if that works as easily. For now though, I got it up on Vmware, with networking working right away. After that, I alt-zero’d into the developer console, found my ip with ‘ifconfig’, changed the root passwd with ‘passwd’ and ssh’d into the image as root from my terminal. I’m not sure what I need to do to get a nfs share exported on OSX, so I haven’t tried that yet.

Once that’s working, I think a good easy way to work would be to edit files in a local filesystem, and share it to the olpc image for testing.
