==SoaS Release Testing==

==SoaS nightly builds==
Sugar 0.88 release testing is underway with Sugar on a Stick Mirabelle with Fedora 13 (Goddard).
+
[https://www.happyassassin.net/nightlies.html Fedora nightly-composes page] - Look for the '''SoaS live''' section well down in the table.
==Download and test==
+
* See [[Fedora 35]], [[Testing/Reports/Sugar on a Stick]] for testing results.

  −
* The release candidate images will be released on the [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/13.RC2/Spins/ Fedora F13 Spins RC images] location, once they are built.

**Note that with larger images one may need to adjust the overlay or home folder size in order to fit the installation onto a 1-GB USB device (for example, with soas-x86_64-20101004.16.iso (503 MB), {{Code|--home-size-mb 190}} was needed), otherwise, the filesystem will get corrupted during the creation of the home folder as the disc space is exhausted.
