Do not be discouraged by this comment from building Sugar on a Stick. It was the first bootable flash drive I made and worked at the second attempt. | |||
'''Hardware requirements''' | |||
You will need to ensure the computer you plan to use is capable of booting from USB. | |||
From http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora we see these minimum requirements for the current distribution, Fedora 16. | |||
:A 400MHz or faster processor | |||
:At least 768 MB memory (RAM), 1 GB recommended for best performance. | |||
The minimum size of your USB flash drive is 2GB. | |||
For installing Sugar on a flash drive, see [[Downloads]]. | |||
