So why did you use the FC10 kernel? Did you just need a newer one than what came on the OLPC image? Feel free to email me if you get a spare moment: slipstick86(at)gmail.com.

Also, they don't install the VMWare tools so you won't get the 1200x900 resolution (which may be fine depending on your intentions).Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353637548899091553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460112.post-70341931350539054372010-02-22T23:40:42.791-08:002010-02-22T23:40:42.791-08:00Thanks a lot for posting these instructions and ma...Thanks a lot for posting these instructions and making your image available. It definitely would be great to have this for 802. Maybe I'll take a stab at it and upload the result if I'm successful.<br /><br />Did you ever try using the directions on the OLPC wiki?

I'm trying to use your 767 image on VMware Fusion 3.01, but it isn't too happy, it's telling me that the VMware tools are out of date so it won't have anything to do with the network. I wouldn't know how to go about installing perl etc. and it would be pretty much going back to the beginning anyway, so it seems to make more sense to just start again with the 802 release...Kashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122384951456083324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460112.post-42418808480058497382009-05-21T08:27:48.770-07:002009-05-21T08:27:48.770-07:00Davide, it should work.

Thanks for you...Hi Dr. Bert I'm an italian student.<br />Thanks for your work.<br />I have one question:<br />In this days I'm testing your image on my two laptop with VMware Player. The image works fine and with my WiFi Router setted to an open network without protection I see each laptop. <br />With one laptop I can invite a second to an activity, but the condivision of the activity don't works, do you know why?Davide Zerrillihttp://dzonline.altervista.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460112.post-47997353776127056912009-04-30T05:16:00.000-07:002009-04-30T05:16:00.000-07:00The problem that Sugar fail to shutdown or restart...The problem that Sugar fail to shutdown or restart can be circumvented. While it looks stuck in console mode after clicking shutdown/restart, press Ctrl-Alt-F2 at that time and shutdown sequence would go on normally. Don't know why. :)<br /><br />Besides, another confirmation that your VM works fine with VMware server 2.0 on Windows.Etyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16318130112272152095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460112.post-77837203603264216912009-04-11T06:44:00.000-07:002009-04-11T06:44:00.000-07:00Many thanks for creating this; glad to be able to ...Many thanks for creating this; glad to be able to try Sugar out properly at last.Miles Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05451747221603169796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460112.post-59826036652135912942009-03-03T04:49:00.000-08:002009-03-03T04:49:00.000-08:00Apparently, the window scaling/resizing only works...Apparently, the window scaling/resizing only works on the Mac.<BR>In other news, this image has been confirmed to work in VMWare Server and Player for Linux (see <A HREF="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Emulating_the_XO" REL="nofollow"> Emulating the XO</A>).Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353637548899091553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460112.post-36090180371617128562009-01-19T20:17:00.000-08:002009-01-19T20:17:00.000-08:00How do i resize it in Windows?thxHow do i resize it in Windows?thxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460112.post-80844111913570700002009-01-05T09:47:00.000-08:002009-01-05T09:47:00.000-08:00Hey Andy,Were you able to get screen resizing work...Hey Andy,<BR/><BR/>Were you able to get screen resizing working in VMWare on Windows?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Brian JordanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460112.post-84119069315940934552008-12-11T12:36:00.000-08:002008-12-11T12:36:00.000-08:00Thanks a lot Dr. Freudenberg.Great work.Thanks a lot Dr. Freudenberg.<BR/><BR/>Great work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460112.post-25984992215871036782008-12-11T03:33:00.000-08:002008-12-11T03:33:00.000-08:00Thanks Andy, I've updated the post.Thanks Andy, I've updated the post.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353637548899091553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460112.post-81959276957062541092008-12-11T03:08:00.000-08:002008-12-11T03:08:00.000-08:00Thanks for sharing this.It runs perfectly in VMwar...Thanks for sharing this.<BR/><BR/>It runs perfectly in VMware Player on Windows.
