You would need to hack the startup script and include the image in your .xo. I did that for the OLE Nepal image:

So is tooking the etoys.xo bundle, uncompress it, update the image with drgeo, will do the trick? Eventually I could do a math wise image and integrate BotsInc aswell.
No. As I wrote, look at the EPaati bundle I made. It contains an image, and I adapted the startup scripts to use that image.
The Etoys bundle contains *only* the scripts, not the image or the example projects. It relies on the etoys version installed via rpm. This is to allow sharing of that image between bundles, because bundles can only depend on system-installed files, not on files in other bundles.
However, it would be extremely inefficient space-wise to do that as 99% of the image would be identical to the etoys image and you're simply wasting 15 MB of space.
Obviously. But worst, I think OLPC has a very hard time regarding its pedagogical value. May be it could be acceptable where there are no previous computer experience but it could be rejected in other place where there a previous experience and clear expectation about computer use in education.
I'm not quite sure what you mean here, but I agree that OLPC has its self-made problems coming across as an education project. But fortunately, there are people like you who have this vision and are doing something about it, and this is indeed appreciated by OLPC.
