The ~~window that~~ appears ~~must have "Intel" mentioned in~~ the ~~Processor section. SoaS is only available for Mac with Intel processors~~.

Apple Macintosh computers with an Intel Processor are capable of running SoaS blueberry. Although fedora core runs on the powerPC processor, SugarOS does not. It is possible to download and flash usb drives with a powerPC Mac.

To identify the Mac's processor: Choose '''Apple menu''' > About This Mac. The processor type appears at the top of the list.

~~You may be able to prepare your flash drive on a Mac, but depending on the generation of the Mac, you may need to use another computer to test whether the prepared flash drive works.~~
