There's been some analysis of why image-writer-mac doesn't work so well
on older Mac OS X versions ... you might be interested, Bert. Is it in
change control anywhere? ;-} I did look on git.sugarlabs.org but
search showed nothing and the projects list was on so many pages.

Question #94113 on Sugar on a Stick changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/soas/+question/94113
lisfolks posted a new comment:
Yes, it worked! So, in summary, I:
- modified the 'image-writer-mac.py' file to look for the text 'Read Only'
instead of 'Read-Only Media'
- modified the 'image-writer-mac.py' file, replacing
'p.send_signal(signal.SIGINFO)' with 'os.kill(p.pid, signal.SIGINFO)'
The image was successfully created on my USB stick after these changes.
Now, I'm going to guess, though, that I'll need one of those "helper"
CDs for booting into Sugar. On an Intel Mac, which I have, I understand
that a GUID partition is required for booting from a USB stick. Since
the filesystem for this image is "ISO Rockridge", I'm pretty sure my
MacBook Pro won't see it.
Thanks so very much for your assistance and your patience, James!
