A frequent request we received concerned a means of installing Sugar to a hard disk. We teamed up with the zyx-liveinstaller developer in order to provide:

  • a seamless way of installing your personalized environment onto your computer's hard disk
  • that saves any changes that you made to your Sugar on a Stick system
  • without even requiring a reboot!


E-Books
