I just built both a Soas-v3 and Soas-v4 Live USB which boots
successfully on a MacBook Air with a Boot Helper Disk in a USB CD/DVD
external drive:
I detail the steps here:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Building_a_bootable_USB_using_a_MacBook_Air
( go the linked page above for the download links)
Here are the steps I used:
Building a bootable USB using a MacBook Air
1 Boot MacBook Air
Download Soas-v4 Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-SoaS
Copy it to a USB for transfer later (see below)
2 Format Target USB (2GB) in OSX Disk utility
Insert Target USB
start Disk Utility
highlight the target USB in left column of OSX Disk Utility
Click on erase; select fat16; Name FEDORA; hit return
VERY IMPORTANT: Helper CD will not work if
USB is not named FEDORA (in CAPS)
3 Burn USB
Start Oracle Virtualbox for OSX VirtualBox-3.2.10-66523-OSX.dmg
TO download F14: Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop
Start the F14 Desktop you have installed to Virtualbox
Insert USB that contains: Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso
Copy to running f14-Desktop in Virtualbox
4 Start liveusb-creator (To install liveusb-creator; In
Terminal:"yum install liveusb-creator)
<Browse>/Desktop/ Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso
<Target Device> /dev/sdb1 (FEDORA)
<Persistent Storage> choose 900 MB (1800 for 4GB USB)
<Create Live USB>
5 Shutdown Fedora 14 in Virtualbox; Close Virtualbox Program;
Shutdown MacBook Air.
6 Insert Soas-4-boot-test CD in USB DVD/CD; Plug in Live USB you
just built
soas-4-boot-test
7 Boot from helper soas-4-boot-test CD
Hold down "C" key and do not release until Fedora Blue
"soas-boot" screen appears
Select "Boot with basic video driver"
Hit return
* Congratulations Your Live USB should Boot and run Sugar on a Stick
v4 Mango Lassi
* The same procedure works for Soas-v3-Mirabelle using the
Soas-3-boot test CD
Note you can eject the USB CD/DVD drive and unplug the USB from the
Mac Air. It will not be needed until next time you boot the Live USB
For networking you can plug in the MacBook Air specific USB Network
Dongle. (Wireless is not supported)
Enjoy;

This has probably been mentioned elsewhere, but is there a Sugar/
soas on Mac list?
Some days I think soas@ _is_ soas-mac@ ;)Those must be the days when I am pleading for help doing SoaS things on my MacBook.BTW a casual survey of about 20 teachers showed about 60% using PCs and 40% using Macs with their students.These teachers were from all over SoCal. All the LAUSD teachers seem to have MacBooks issued to them bythe district.Caryl
