Macintosh

There are many options for using Sugar on an Apple Macintosh Computer.

Sugar on a Stick for Mac
Sugar on a Stick loaded USB devices should run on Intel Macs.

See Sugar on a Stick/Macintosh for a Fedora 17 test from April 2012.

Follow these instructions every time you wish to use your Sugar on a Stick device on an Intel Mac: vmlinuz0 initrd=initrd0.img root=LABEL=FEDORA rootfstype=iso9660 rw liveimg overlay=LABEL=soas-2-blueberry quiet rhgb selinux=0
 * Boot the Mac with the boot-helper CD
 * Interrupt the boot sequence
 * edit the kernel parameters
 * continue the boot.

You can create a Sugar on a Stick device with a Mac. However, to save the Journal you must create your stick on a PC or Linux machine: Instructions for Windows and Linux


 * 1) Download the boot helper from: http://www.wronkiewicz.net/soas-4-boot-test.iso for Mango Lassi
 * http://www.wronkiewicz.net/soas-3-boot-test.iso for Mirabelle
 * http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-boot.iso for Blueberry
 * 1) Put in the boot-helper CD
 * 2) Plug in the USB
 * 3) Turn on the Mac
 * 4) At the chime press the "C" key

The Mac should boot first from the CD then from the USB device. As of 12 April 2009, this is experimental. Let us know what results you get.
