What would be really helpful is some tutorial projects that are downloaded right with the etoys installation. That is what we're doing with the OLPC version, for which we also are working on better language rendering support. The OLPC etoys version should run fine on any machine. But making the example projects appear in the general projects list requires some work, and making the font choices configurable (they are set up for a 200 dpi screen now) would also be necessary. A plan of action would be for someone to make a nice general etoys package from that version: http://etoys.laptop.org/src/etoys-image-and-pr.zip Or rather from the etoys-dev image which includes source files at http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/ We (VPRI hackers) can certainly assist with that, though our main focus is the actual kid's machine right now.
I did mention they could easily download OLPC etoys using yum. I will reiterate this fact. BTW, is there anything specific to FC5? That is, can other distros dnl from the repo and execute OLPC etoys?
I don't think there is nothing FC5 specific in there. You can run Etoys outside of Sugar by typing "etoys" on the command line.
