:OR Make a rEFIt Boot CD:
:: Here is a simple way to recognize a bootable USB on a Mac.<br>
{{Box|Go to rEFIt (http://refit.sourceforge.net/) and make a bootable cd.
"There is no need to install rEFIt on your mac. In fact installing rEFIt may make it impossible to upgrade the Mac OS to a newer version later on (personal experience, I had to do a clean install).
Put the rEFIt CD[1] in and hold the '''option key''' after turning the computer on.
The Mac will recognize the CD because it uses EFI and then the CD will recognize the bootable USB."[2]

'''(You can rename the .cdr file to .iso for use in linux.)'''

:7 '''Boot from Soas-4-boot-test helper CD'''
::Hold down "C" key and do not release until Fedora Blue "soas-boot" screen appears
::: It may take 10-15 seconds
:: Select "Boot with basic video driver"
::Hit return
*'''Congratulations Your Live USB should Boot and run Sugar on a Stick from the live USB with persistence'''
*Notes:
# Wireless connection does not work. Use an USB Ethernet Adapter for Internet Connectivity
# you can eject a USB CD/DVD drive, if used (In bottom right of sugar frame) and unplug the CD/DVD USB connector from the Mac. It will not be needed until next time you boot the Live USB
# '''Note Do Not try to Boot this USB outside of intel MAC with boot disk It becomes corrupted if boot is attempted as standalone Live Soas in a Netbook'''
