Line 84:

The use of SoaS on the OLPC XO-1, as well as in virtual machines, is currently in an experimental state. Instructions for both categories are being developed here for [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation/OLPC|XO-1]], [[VirtualBox]], & [[VMware#Soas-Strawberry.iso_installed_to_VM_Hard_Disk|VMware]]. In the meantime, you might want to refer to the information on the general SoaS [[Sugar_on_a_Stick| wiki page]].

* Set the option to boot from USB in your machine's BIOS and ~~let~~ it ~~come up~~.

* If your machine doesn't support booting from USB devices, then download and burn http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-boot.iso.

# Set the option to boot from USB in your machine's BIOS and then start up the computer.

** Put both the boot-support CD and the USB flash drive in your computer and let it boot from the CD.

If your machine doesn't support booting from USB devices, then download and burn http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-boot.iso.
