Great! I just tried the 64bit version on my old MacBookAir and for the first
time with SOAS it tries to boot. Thr bootsplash pops upand it is offrering
thr bootmenu ... unfortunatly then nothing else happens. Is there a chance
to get it to work completly? I would love it!
That's a problem with the graphics mapping on the Apple devices. We
need to add the details to the kernel to support it. If you can run
the command that's provided in the following bug comment
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528232#c20 and the either
add a comment to the bug with the details or provide the details here
and we can organise to get the problem fixed.

Peter;
Thanks for adding fix to the bug for Apple MacBook Air
Works fine. : )
Now we need the wireless on it to work. Is the driver available?
I am using the MacBook Air usb to Ethernet adapter for internet access.

Great News;
Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-SoaS CD Boots fine on an Apple MacBook Air with an
external hp-DVD/CD usb drive.
Hold "C" and tap power button keep holding the "C" key down until the
blue fedora boot screen appears
Select Boot (Basic Video)-second line
boots to bar display Fedora 14; (Name_____); Choose password for new
keyring; hit cancel 6 times.
F3 Ring appears
Use the usb to cat 5 Air dongle ( applesmc.78) as Network Manager does not
recognize the Mac Air's wireless hardware.
f1 neighborhood will be full of [email protected] names
To fix this go to drop down / My settings /About me. change colors and
restart. On restart the names will be correct.
ONLY IF you enter the key chain password you entered 1 time when you
started sugar.
These are known bugs

If anyone else is interested, I put together a boot helper for
Mirabelle. Burned to a CD, it enabled booting a USB stick on my
MacBook Pro. The stick was partitioned with the plain old MBR format
and labeled "FEDORA". I also got both VMware Fusion and VirtualBox to
boot the USB stick using this boot helper ISO. The soas-2-boot ISO
sort of works with Mirabelle sticks, but they have different kernel
versions so modules don't load, thus no networking. That is fixed in
this build.

Please Test these result on other MAC's and report here in wiki:

Hi All,
This is the non announcement announcement of the release of Sugar on a
Stick 4 Mango Lassi is out.
You can download both the 32 and 64 bit version from
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/
There's an outline of some common bugs in Fedora 14 and hence Fedora
14 outlined here
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F14_bugs
Some of the notable enhancements include:
- Sugar 0.90
- Support for more wireless adapters including the rtl2xxx series of
adapters that are common in eee PCs
- Improved Apple Mac support (still needs SoaS verification as
apparently its a major problem but I could only find Fedora people to
test it for me)
- Quite a lot of things that I can't remember
I would like to thank Sebastian, Mel, Simon, Thomas and everyone else
who has contributed to this release.
Cheers,
Peter
