Are you new to Sugar?

The easiest way to get started is to use Sugar on a Stick.

MS Windows

(1) Prepare: Download the Fedora Live USB Creator from FedoraHosted
Download Mirabell.png
(2) Download: Download the Sugar-on-a-Stick iso.

(4) Boot: Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's BIOS, and then start up the computer.

Detailed installation instructions and booting instructions are available.

GNU/Linux

(2) Download: Download the Sugar-on-a-Stick iso.
3. Execute, as the root user, in one command with arguments, the following:

./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --overlay-size-mb 200 --home-size-mb 200 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /path/to/source.iso /dev/sd?1

where '?' in the final parameter represents the target bootable device node, such as sdb1 or sdc1, etc.
(4) Boot: Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's BIOS, and then start up the computer.
