OK. I'll make a Pineaple Live CD for the Mac on my Mac. Can I make a
live CD on my Mac that will run on a PC?
You can burn an .iso file on the Mac in DiskUtility.app that works on
PC's and Intel Mac's
Trisquel 5-sugar will boot on the Mac (mac HD or what we want: windows
boot)- connects only with a USB D-Link DWL-122 Dongle
-sees jabber
-record 87 (Update) sees Mac Camera and takes pictures
-not all activities work
Pineapple 64 bit will boot on the Mac (mac HD or what we want: windows
boot) - no internet connection (only looking for wireless, wired not seen)
Pineapple 32 bit will boot on the Mac (mac HD or what we want: windows
boot) - no internet connection (only looking for wireless, wired not seen)
hold "option" key down until windows or EFI appears. wait can be 10-20 sec.
Note: Latest SoaS versions do not seem to have a working EFI boot
anymore. Fedora must have made some changes : (

All CD's were burned on my i7 MacBook Pro tonight to test for you.

Hi!
I didn't expect an answer so fast. Thanks! Sounds
like Trisquel 5-sugar will be perfect for what I need. For my
Mac I can use a Virtual Box (or Parallels?), but to have
something that I can give to everyone, I guess Trisquel 5
would do very nicely.
I had Parallels and Windows 7 installed on my new MacBook Pro
so that I can run a health program (diabetes) that is only
available for Windows. I was having some boot problems and
thought it might be due to them. So I have temporarily
uninstalled them.
Is Pineapple stable enough to hand out to newbies?
Yes I recommend it (32 bit) if you want it for PC's (no mac boot)
though you can burn the CD from an .iso on your Mac.
Trisquel will also work though some pippy examples do not work on it.
They do in Soas-v6 Pineapple
/I'll switch to italics to make it easy to follow. I need
something that will run on any intel machine so I can give the
same CD to anyone, regardless of their machine preference. Does
such a version exist?/
/

If you mean intel MAC's;
Not really.
64 bit f16-SoaS will boot on some PC's (some intel Atom and 64 bit
dual core processors) and ON A SUBSET OF intel Macs but EFI Boot on a
MAC requires a wired Cat5 network connection . THERE IS NO UNIVERSAL
VERSION ATM.
If that is what you want It does not exist yet.
Sorry I have given you the best recommendations in the previous e-mails.
Look again for reference:

Hi Tom,
It's crunch time! I finished both slide shows I needed
for SCaLE 10X and am now working to find the one version
of SoaS that I can put on a Live CD for distribution at
our booth and demo in my presentation. Someone has
suggested Trisquel. But, isn't it mostly for little kids
(first grade)? I want one that includes Pippy and Turtle
Blocks (Art), if at all possible.
Caryl;
Trisquel 5-sugar (Toast) has Turtle Art 120 and Pippy 43 on
it. (Pippy does not run the Camera and Physics examples.)
It also has Etoys 116
Software Update (new applications) will load Turtle Machine 10
SoaS-v6-Pineapple has Etoys 116; Turtle Art 120; and Pippy 43
Software Update: includes upgrades to Turtle Art 131 and
Pippy 44 (camera and Physics examples work)
RECOMMENDED
So what version will work most "universally" on Macs
(Intel) and PCs on a "Live CD"
64 Bit Soas v6 Pineapple boots both ways. But the EFI Boot is
unable to see the wireless
(64 bit is not as universal as 32 bit)
I still recommend installing VirtualBox 4.1 for OSX and to
import this appliance from
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#v6_Pineapple
*RECOMMENDED*
firstboot has not yet run; so a new user name and
password will be set for the gdm login on startup for
the first time
Built 11/13/2011 with Virtualbox 4.1.4 for OSX
How Built: *root=sugarroot* 4-GB VirtualBox hard disc
English and English keyboard USA-Los Angeles (Pacific
timezone)
*download and import 2 files:*
http://download.sugarlabs.org/images/VirtualBox/F16-i686_SoaS_CL-disk1.vmdk
http://download.sugarlabs.org/images/VirtualBox/F16-i686_SoaS_CL.ovf
VitualBox works with the Mac Wireless properly
Will your instructions for burning a live CD in Disk
Utility on the wiki make a CD that will play universally?
Yes I tested it on my ACER ASPIRE ONE N450 and on the Mac
Powerbook i7
It boots the CD in each case. From any CD .iso you choose.
I downloaded Mirabelle in the 64 bit version. I think
that is a mistake. It won't be universal.
So which one should I try. The downloads take several
hours. My internet only does about 75 Mb/sec/
If I had only one: f16-Soas-v6 Pineapple (32 bit)
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/#downloads
RECOMMENDED

Look at this to see which activities are compatible with
