==Install on a USB device==

(2-GB or larger USB storage device needed to run VirtualBox Images)

One could modify the instructions at [[VMware#One_8-GiB_stick_with_2_partitions]]

* Download VirtualBox OSE program, and install instead of VMPlayer.

* Boot PC from stick, and run images on same or 2nd stick.

==Virtualbox 3.2.1 on 16GB Toshiba USB Running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic==

This is a nice portable solution for a full Gnome Desktop and Sun Virtualbox 3.2.1

(works with Hp Pavillion "Vista"Notebook)

I use it to create .vdi Hard Disk images for soas-v2-Blueberry

# install Ubuntu 9.10 [http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download] from CD to 16GB Toshiba USB (It will run on 8GB USB but very little room left for images)

# setup wireless networking

# Download VirtualBox: [http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads]

# Install Virtualbox

Have Fun!

== Sugar not booting ==

I got Sugar to boot under VirtualBox 2.X / MacOS 10.5 following the recommended procedure. With VirtualBox 3.X something seems to be broken. Neither my old VDI nor a newly downloaded one will proceed to more than that black screen. Sad!

But don't despair: You need to get the installation ISO (380 MB) from the downloads page ([[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads]]). Add this as the CD-ROM to your virtual machine and set the first boot volume to this CD-ROM. Now Sugar works as before!

==I want to give a response to the "Setup a Virtual Machine for Sugar on a Stick" (Mac Os)==

I´ve installed the VirtualBox from step 1 - 6 and then i setup a virtual machine.
