Right...but, it isn't just the bootable stick, the live CD has the same
problem. When it is in the optical drive at startup and the option key is
pressed, it should show up in the window with the other options. It doesn't.
Could it be missing the same thing the usb stick is missing?

The VirtualBox procedure is reliable, I use that and works fine with
the new version of VirtualBox I was prompted to install this week.

VirtualBox on a Mac.

Part of the problem is that the bootable stick does not appear in the
list of bootable volumes on Option keypress at boot time. Nor, for
that matter, on the list of boot volumes in the System/Startup Disk
section of System Preferences.

OK, I created a new stick with Fedora LiveUSB Creator v.3.6.5 on a
Windows machine (an EeePC which I usually boot into Sugar with that
snapshot on an SD Card) using Soas-200903051021.iso.
Then, I inserted the stick into my Mac Mini, opened the Terminal
application, and executed the following using
Hi;
There is an possible alternate, interim, solution to let Intel Macs run

The procedures to make the Appliances and boot sticks are documented in
the wiki:

or 'boot from USB with helper CD' don't need it.

Hi everybody,
I have a pre-Intel mac, so I can't test it
OSX has a CLI "bless" command which may do what is necessary.
I'll try to look into this, I have a recent Mac Mini

Hi Caroline,
I had an idea in the shower this am (some of my best ideas come while I am in
