If you go to: http://people.sugarlabs.org/~bogstad/floppy/
you will see a rev4-floppy.img file. http://people.sugarlabs.org/~bogstad/floppy/rev4-floppy.img Download the binary file and write it to a 3.5 (1.44Mbyte) floppy. (probably use dd under Linux or rawrite.exe under Windows/DOS) Put it in a machine and boot it. Eventually you should get a simple text menu display that says "Insert USB stick and hit ENTER to boot". Insert the stick, wait a few seconds for the system to see it. (You can hit D to see what disks the system currently sees.) Hit ENTER and it should boot from your USB stick. Possible issues: 1. Your floppy must be a standard (internal) floppy. USB or external floppy drives are untested and probably won't work. Symptom would probably be that you get an error message about kexec-loader being unable to find it's boot device. (This is probably fixable if it matters.) 2. There were some issues with PS/2 vs. USB keyboards. I believe they have been fixed. 3. Your SoaS USB stick must have had the FEDORA label on the MSDOS filesystem when you created it. I believe the CD boot helper has the same restriction. 4. Since the floppy is using it's own (linux) USB stack, if you have an unusual USB card the driver might not be there. This will probably show up as the USB stick never showing up when you hit the 'D' key instead of ENTER. Since this is SoaS related, please report bugs at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/soas Thanks, Bill Bogstad _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
