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 Caroline,
I had an idea in the shower this am (some of my best ideas come while I am in
the shower). I think I may know what is going on with the Macs and live Sugar
CDs and how it might be fixed.
According to Apple, when you boot with the option key down, the computer looks
for all boo
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

Ah, ok :-)

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

That's why I wrote "so I can't test it directly" ;)

Yeah, I had to use jhbuild and precompiled ubuntu packages

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

I have a new macbook, but have seen issue 1 and not 2.
Is there some sequence of usb/cd creation I should try that might produce
the problem?
Its intel mac only, right? My partner has a desktop mac running leopard, but
its intel also. I can later try on this setup if it would be of value.
Cheers,
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
rEFIt http://refit.sourceforge.net/ is akin to GRUB, but nicer. It
detects and shows all boot options.

For completeness, here are the documented Apple OSX keyboard
shortcuts, stable over the past six versions (10.0->10.5):

Potentially useful at boot time: the Option key (looks like a ski
slope) to show & select bootable volumes
