Are you new to Sugar?
The easiest way to get started is to use Sugar on a Stick. Basic instructions are found below. A more detailed Sugar-on-a-Stick Creation Guide is also available. (If you already use GNU/Linux, you may want to install the Sugar packages available from your distro.)

(3) Burn: Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with 1 GB or more of free space into your computer and launch Fedora Live USB Creator to create a Sugar-on-a-Stick bootable image. Note: Be sure to set the persistent storage slider to a non-zero value. |
(4) Boot: Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's BIOS, and then start up the computer. |
Detailed installation instructions for Windows and booting instructions are available. There is also a guide to using Sugar on a Stick.

(1) Prepare: These instructions are only for 64-bit machines. (To identify processor, choose Apple menu > About This Mac. A small window will appear titled About This Mac. The processor type is displayed in this window. Sugar on a Stick is for the Intel processor only.) You may want to refer to the Virtual Machines instructions below. |
