Restart, Play. Restart, Mac.
Get a hands on experience with Sugar by booting from a CD. Restart and return to your Mac, completely unchanged. This is the easiest way to get a Taste of Sugar on a Mac.
To Get Started
- Download Sugar on a Stick (Choose the 64-bit version, if possible, for increased compatibility.)
- Linux for PowerPC architecture
- Fedora for PowerPC & Ubuntu/PPC processor (iBooks and other PowerPC Macs)
Click to discover the processor at the heart of your Mac.
Verify the file was downloaded properly by calculating its SHA-1 checksum
For protection against tampering and transmission errors, always compare the checksum of each download.
To calculate a file's SHA-1 checksum
Open the Terminal Utility and type into the Terminal Window. Press the return key to run the command.
Replace mySugarFlavor with the name of the file you downloaded.
- Mac OS version ≥10.6
shasum ~/Downloads/mySugarFlavor.iso - Mac OS version ≤10.5
openssl sha1 ~/Downloads/mySugarFlavor.iso - Compare the result to the official SHA-1 checksum stored at Sugar Labs.
To burn onto CD
- Open the Disk Utility. Drag the downloaded .iso file to the bottom of the list.
- Select your flavor .iso in the list, then press the Burn button.
- Insert a blank CD disc when prompted.
The CD created is bootable in most PCs including Intel Mac. Please burn many copies and share them freely.
To try a Taste of Sugar
- Insert the CD you burned.
- Press the Power Button on the Intel Mac. If a dialog box appears, press the Restart Button.
- During the startup sound, press and hold the letter C.
If the apple logo appears, Sugar is not booting. Restart and try again.- the C key must be pressed during the startup sound and you must continue to hold it down.
- you may release the c key once the Blue Boot Screen Welcome to Fedora-.......appears
- Hit <TAB> and add this to the line of commands at the bottom: nomodeset xdriver=vesa
- Hit <Return> and cd will boot after several messages
- This works with
- SoaS v4 Mango Lassi Soas v4 Soas Boots on Mac Air
- SoaS v3 Mirabelle
A Taste of Sugar is a safe read-only experience that doesn't write or remember anything. Unfortunately, this means the Journal is not saved. Nothing is saved. All learner progress is lost when the machine reboots. A Taste of Sugar is only a demonstration and is not intended to be used on a recurring basis.
