Hi Caroline,

I haven't gotten the cd to work yet.  Created 2 on the Mac. Neither works.  
Wonder if making it on the Windows side would do it...will try to find out how 
to do that.  USB didn't work, even with the boot-helper.  I can, and have, run 
Sugar with the Virtual Box.  In fact, I keep it in my toolbar.

I have been busy with our family business the past few days.  I might have a 
little time tonight to try some other things. But houseguests come tomorrow 
afternoon and we leave for MT soon after they leave.  Won't have much time to 
play with this until I get back to MT.

Hi Caryl,

How is it going?

I know of two potentail issues.

1. Getting the right materials. At sugar camp we found that the USB created on 
the macbook was not working, only a PC created USB seemed to work. Plus you 
need both the USB and the boot helper.


2. some macbooks have a bug, when you boot everything goes fine through most of 
the boot and just when you are about to get to Sugar you get a mostly black 
screen with a sqiggle in the middle.

Where are you at? I especially need people with problem #2 because I don't have 
a test machine that shows it and its a show stopper for me for all work in 
Boston Public Schools because their macbooks have this issue.


Thanks,
Caroline

Hi,



I downloaded soas-beta.iso to my MacBook and burned it to a disk.  I would like 
to get it to boot and be usable on the MacBook.  Does anyone know how to do 
this?




Thanks,
Caryl
