Line 130:

**the C key must be pressed during the startup sound and you must continue to hold it down.

**you may release the c key once the sugar logo appears.

* ~~Proceed~~ as ~~stated in~~ the ~~instructions~~ for ~~Linux Users~~.

==== Mac Boot Bugs ====

''The boot sequence does not work properly due to minor bugs. Follow these workarounds to boot an intel Mac.''

*image-writer-mac and BootHelperCD are not compatible:

** BootHelperCD can only boot sticks named FEDORA

** Image-writer gives the USB stick the name of blueberry-2-soas

** USB stick is created as read only. So the name is not easily changed by mere mortals.

This is a showstopper. You cannot boot without hacking the USB stick name. Use a windows machine to create Sugar on a Stick, named FEDORA, with persistent overlay.

*Sugar on a Stick is READ-ONLY

**Nothing is saved between reboots. Sugar asks for your name and colors each boot.

**imge-writer-mac does not create a persistent overlay file.

There is no way to create a persistent overlay on Mac without hacking the USB stick. Use a windows machine to create Sugar on a Stick, named FEDORA, with persistent overlay.

*BootHelperCD cannot boot Mac without typing secret code into difficult to read window:

** interrupt the countdown boot sequence by pressing F4

** append selinux=0 to the kernel's list of boot parameters

** press return or enter to continue the boot process

Submit bugs and gripe at developers until they create a boot helperCD that boots without selinux=0 We'd prefer something more legible than white text on white background.
