I have SoaS-2-20090506 running in a VMDK image in Virtual Box. I'm doing my lesson development on it, since it has version 51 of Turtle Art and is otherwise more advanced than the other versions of Sugar I have tried. See Gravity for Ten-Year-Olds, based on an Alan Kay presentation. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/images/0/0e/Gravity.odt I'm going to test the June 19th version tomorrow. > --Gary > >> If anyone has had success installing SoaS to disk and could share >> their experiences, would be great. >> >> Thanks, >> >> Tomeu >> >> On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 11:28, Tomeu Vizoso<[email protected]> wrote: >>> On Sun, Jun 7, 2009 at 09:21, Ashar Iqbal<[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>>> I have soas2 beta dated 14 April burned to a cd and booting/working >>>> fine on a PC.
