==LiveOS image==

~~Instructions~~ for preparing a VirtualBox disk image from a SoaS iso image file.

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.

==Installing SoaS .iso image==

('''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.)

===Installing SoaS .iso image===

# Create a new VM, choose a name, such as Mirabelle

# Choose Linux for the Operating System and Version Fedora (use 64 bit, if available)
