# [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/598 Ticket 598]]. We are having what are probably driver issues with both old EVO-D500 computers (network) and the Macs (Video Card Support).  In this particular situation we can install software on the school computers.  Thus a promising solution is a Virtual Machine (probably VirtualBox) solution that will allow students to put in their USBs Sticks and use all the personal data from the Sticks so they can use any computer.

# [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/579 Ticket 579]]. We have several donated computers. A requirement for the donations was that we wiped the harddrives.  Thus we also need an installable operating system that is basically just a "boot-helper" and again all student data is on the USB.

'''Can't get Computer Lab Machines to Boot from USB''' - The BIOS says it should be trying to boot from the USB but its not looking at the USB. A google search confirms that this is not a sugar problem, its a EVO D500 problem.  I'm hoping we find a solution. http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/599
