Notes are here: <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/GPA" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/GPA</a> <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Shaw_Elementary_School" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Shaw_Elementary_School</a> The short summary is we think a wider range of "Boot Helpers" would be very helpful. One thing that we specifically need help with is getting the boot-helper CD updated from F9.9 to F11. Marco made the F9.9 version a few months ago: <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick</a> Its under Gary's name, it was lost and Gary found it and uploaded it, but Marco did the original work. </blockquote> </div> And we recently decided to loose it again, as neither Simon or myself could get it to work (at least on the kit we could test with – did you have any luck at all with it?). It's still in my public directory if needed, but not on the wiki anymore: <a href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/garycmartin/boot.iso" target="_blank">http://people.sugarlabs.org/garycmartin/boot.iso</a></blockquote><div> Yes it worked for me! I just need a version with the most up to date drivers as I'm hoping (based on some googling) that they will help some of the issues we saw in our latest tests on the school computer labs. Specifically I was definitely able to boot the Gardner school computer lab computers with the CD and they did not boot without the CD.

Thanks to much work by many volunteers we are getting close! We have enthusiastic teachers, especially at the Gardner, chomping at the bit to try Sugar! Please help if you can. Thanks!!!!
