Is this up on the activities portal?
Will this work on soas-beta?
Is it possible to update an existing version of Record (theoretical question, I have 20 sticks without record on them I can use for testing.)

Thanks!!!!

Replying to CarolineM:

Is this up on the activities portal?

yup, last version is 63

Will this work on soas-beta?

I tested it on my ThinkPad-R61 and it works for me
(there were small sound glitches but they are system related bugs)

Is it possible to update an existing version of Record (theoretical question, I have 20 sticks without record on them I can use for testing.)

one option is boot to these sticks and install Record, then type in Terminal: "su && init 3" then login to text console with root user and type "rm -rf /home/liveuser/.sugar && shutdown -h 0"

or download  http://people.sugarlabs.org/~alsroot/soas/home.tar.bz2 and create home.img w/o booting
(it need root privileges):

dd if=/dev/zero bs=200M count=1 of=home.img && mkfs.ext3 home.img -F && mkdir -p mnt && mount home.img mnt/ -o loop && tar xjpvf home.tar.bz2 -C mnt/ && umount mnt/

then (over)write final home.img to LiveOS/ directory on soas sticks

in the last post "bs=200M" means create 200M home image
