| :'''There can be multiple VirtualBox appliances, belonging to individual students/teachers to choose from, on the same Mac.'''
| |
| :Nice school set up for 1 Mac with multiple student's Sugar.
| |
| :'''easy to archive''' with '''export''' function of VirtualBox - save weekly? backups for each of the students.

| |
| | |
| * [[Improve_Sugar_on_a_Stick#Where_we_need_to_simplify| Where we need to simplify]] We need a simple, elegant, Sugar specific UI that is presented to the user when they insert a stick into a running Windows machine.
| |
| *Suggestion-1:
| |
| :Download the 2 files for VirtualBox import to a 2nd USB stick
| |
| :On insertion; the contents of the USB stick pop up
| |
| An example:
| |
| f16-live-RC4-Desktop-sugaruser-disk1.vmdk
| |
| f16-live-RC4-Desktop-sugaruser.ovf '''<==click on this file and it immediately imports into VirtualBox (less than 2 Minutes)'''
| |
| (Only the .ovf file icon is highlighted in the USB stick contents)
| |
| *Suggestion-2:
| |
| :Export the VirtualBox .vdi hard drive to a 2nd USB and create a new machine that uses the .vdi to run
| |
| :/home/(user)/VirtualBox VMs/ (copy all three files to USB-stick)
| |
| :Create a new appliance
| |
| :use pre-existing hard disk
| |
| :Look for .vdi (on USB-stick)
