This appliance has a traditional, non-compressed filesystem and was built by using [[Sugar on a Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller|ZyX-LiveInstaller]] on a SoaS Mirabelle image. (It does not simulate the stock ''Sugar on a Stick'' image with its [[LiveOS image]] with a compressed filesystem, [[wikipedia:SquashFS|SquashFS]], for the operating system files and an optional overlay and home folder for persistence.)

These Activities have been updated: Physics-6, Record-79, Write-70, Turtle Art-99

* Double click on the '''Guest OS Type''' row and the right column is a dropdown selection panel. Change the value to OS: Linux Version: Fedora (from Other/unknown)

* Agree to GPL license and click the 'Finish' button.

* The Import process progress meter will appear, and then the new virtual machine named '''soas-v3-Mirabelle-~~RC3~~''' will appear in your VirtualBox virtual machine list.

* The Import process progress meter will appear, and then the new virtual machine named '''soas-v3-Mirabelle-zyx2''' will appear in your VirtualBox virtual machine list.

* Click the start button or double click the machine name to start your virtual machine.

* Click the start button or double click the machine name to start your virtual machine with Sugar.

*: (~~This appliance requires~~ the ~~full "first boot" setup routine~~. ~~That means you need~~ to ~~agree~~ to ~~the license~~, ~~enter user name, password, timezone, etc.~~)

** The first boot experience (of selecting a learner name and color set) can be recreated by erasing the /user/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key & .../owner.key.pub files from this machine before distribution.

** Can the default window size be set to simulate an XO at 832x624 pixels? Do we have a license to distribute images with Guest Additions installed?

** I found a base memory setting of 802 MB RAM. This may be too high for older computers. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 13:02, 14 October 2010 (EDT)

You may create you own virtual machine beginning with an .iso image of Sugar on a Stick
