It is possible to boot the same stick on Mac and windows: Subject: Finally: painless way to boot soas mango lassi usb on macbookair From: Raffael Reichelt <[email protected]> To: Development of live Sugar distributions <[email protected]> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=20cf307f37001448f304a051d684 --20cf307f37001448f304a051d684 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hello everyone! I finally managed it to painlessly boot up my Macbook Air from a 1GB USB Stick into Mango Lassi! Here is the way to do it: Prerequisites: Bootcamp Partition with WIN7 EasyBCD - download at: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 Procedure: Run EasyBCD. You need to add a new entry and then install the Bios Extender. The Bootmenu is showing up with an additional item wich leads to a new dialog to choose where to boot from (choose USB). Worked immediately. Maybe someone will give it a try with other Intelmacs. Just tried it with a 32-BIT V6 - works fine - of course still no wireless lan :-( Regards, Raffael > 2) Some folks have reported being able to get SoaS to run on a Mac with > persistent storage.

I am using a 4 GB stick. > > > 4) Is there an easy way to add Activities to the SoaS build? If so, does > this need to be done before the stick is created or can they be added later? > > > I'm sure this will be enough to get me started, but there will undoubtedly > be other questions as I go along. > > > Thanks! > > > Caryl >
