About Sugar on a Stick
The goal of the Sugar on a Stick project is to give children access to *their* Sugar on any computer in their environment with just a USB key.
Creating a USB Stick
We are still in preAlpha on this project. It is not ready to use with children yet.
The basics of creating a Live, bootable USB are you download a live USB .iso image. Then you use a USB creator program to copy it to a USB, create a space for users to store files on the USB and set it to be bootable.
In practice this means the first thing you need is a Live USB creator.
for Windows: http://sdz.fedorapeople.org/olpc/liveusb-creator-3.0.zip
Download that file to a windows machine and install it.
Next download current version of Sugar that we are testing for Sugar on a Stick: http://www.sugarlabs.org/~marco/liveusb.iso
Plug in a 1GB or larger USB stick into your computer.
