Sugar on a Stick/Installation

with Apple Macintosh

 * See and adapt the instructions at Macintosh.

Fedora 15 and Fedora 16

 * Sugar on a Stick CD boots in a Mac - Testing/Reports/Sugar on a Stick
 * The following work on some Intel MacBooks
 * Persistent USB for Mac - Testing/Reports/Sugar on a Stick
 * dd writable USB.img - Testing/Reports/Sugar_on_a_Stick

with GNU/Linux



 * (See Sugar on a Stick/Linux for more details.)
 * Note: The graphical Liveusb-creator is an alternative installation method (see the first Windows method), but it does not create the separate home.img filesystem, and so, the write-once persistent storage on the disk is more quickly consumed (see LiveOS image). If the USB device does not boot after running Liveusb-creator, the command liveusb-creator --reset-mbr may help.

on an OLPC XO

 * See F16 SoaS Pineapple USB boot image for XO-1
 * Very slow but works

with a Netinstall CD

 * Fedora with the Sugar graphical environment
 * Installs to a hard disk or to a 4 GB USB stick (not a LiveOS image like SoaS, but all of Sugar).
 * This requires a high-speed Internet connection for software component downloading during installation.

with the liveinst command

 * ..from a booted Fedora 16 SoaS Live CD/USB


 * Installs to a hard disk or a 4 GB USB stick. You start with a SoaS LiveOS image, and then load an uncompressed version onto the hard disk or USB stick.
 * The Fedora-16-Live-SoaS.iso file is a 443 MB download.
