| + | '''I tried again using the SoaS strawberry release today, but it did do not work either, see below''' |
| + | # if you have not downloaded a SoaS iso image yet, start doing it now. It's big. |
| + | #* http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-strawberry.iso |
| + | # In VMware, create a new VM. |
| + | # click "Continue without a disk" |
| + | # select "Create a custom virtual machine", continue |
| + | # Choose Operating System '''Linux''' and Version '''Other 2.6.x kernel''', continue |
| + | # click "Customize Settings" |
| + | # type a name for your virtual machine (e.g., '''SoaS Strawberry'''), save |
| + | # in "Hard Disks", change disk size to '''2 GB''', click "Apply", go back by clicking "Show All" |
| + | # in "CDs & DVDs" choose "Use disk image" and select the '''soas-strawberry.iso''' you downloaded |
| + | # you can close the Settings window |
| + | # select your new VM and start it |
| + | # after quite a while the Sugar start screen appears. But we're going to use the Linux console. |
| + | # Hold down '''ctrl'''+'''alt'''+'''F2''' keys (on a MacBook '''Fn''', too), this switches to a text screen |
| + | # log in as '''root''' (no password required) |
| + | # '''init 3''' (this stops Sugar for now to free up some memory) |
| + | # '''yum install anaconda''' (this installs the "liveinst" tool) |
| + | # '''liveinst''' |
| + | #* this is a graphical tool for installing the iso cd to a harddrive |
| + | #* we use it to copy SoaS from the iso image to the virtual disk |
| + | #* follow the instructions, re-initializing the drive "sda", partitioned as 256 MB swap and the rest ext3 mounted to '/' |
| + | '''and then the liveinst app just freezes''' :( so no luck again |

| + | Requires 8 GB hd in 2 GB parts/ to do HD install with livinst....I use RedHat5 for OS but it reinitializes disk anyway; use custom partitions to create ext3 /boot, /, and swap. (satellit06/25/2009) |
