==LiveOS image==
Below are instructions for preparing a VirtualBox disk image from a SoaS iso image file.  The process parallels the compressed [[LiveOS image]] used on Live CD and Live USB installations.
* (Taken from Dave Bauer's posting at http://schools.sugarlabs.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=27.)
* Updated 16 August 2010 with [http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads VirtualBox 3.2.8] and 32-bit Fedora.
 


Instructions for preparing a VirtualBox disk image from a SoaS iso image file.
('''Note:''' The SoaS .iso distribution also contains an installer for full, uncompressed, hard disc images of Fedora with the Sugar graphical interface. See [[#Uncompressed, hard disc image|Uncompressed, hard disc image]] below for instructions.)
