'''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
== This worked for me:==

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)
