I couldn't get it to run in wine... --Walter 17:40, 3 December 2008 (UTC)) There is a native linux version of liveusb-creator and also a script which should work on any distribution (see the Linux section). -- Marcopg
Ubuntu
I think the comments about Ubuntu on this page are confusing. I'm not sure if Caroline settled on using Fedora, but in any case I think we should limit ourself to one distribution for soas or make it very clear which distribution we are talking about. For one, if people flash different distributions and report bugs to the soas component, we will have an hard time to figure out what they are talking about. --marcopg
Alix.1C Mini-ITX board (by PC Engines, AMD Geode LX 800)
Tried soas-7 and 8 and it hands right after starting CUPS - it seems there is a display problem (Geode driver missing?), because the screen flashes every few seconds as the gui is trying to be started probably...Kozuch 11:33, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Snappier Name Suggestion
SoaS is kinda pedestrian as a name. How about "Lollipop"? After all a lollipop is sugar on a stick. -- Mitch Bradley
SoaS on Parallels
While I haven't test thoroughly, I'm pleased to note that setting up Sugar On A Stick on Parallels Desktop on an Intel-based Mac Mini works very well. Creating a new virtual machine matches the Virtual Box notes.
- When you are satisfied with your testing, please report this on the 'parent' page, perhaps modifying the VirtualBox and Sugar on a Stick section. That way others are more likely to see and follow your efforts. Thanks! --FGrose 20:51, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Problems
1
I tried to do this and was able to create the files on the stick, but when I try to book on a Toshiba Tecra M4 (which can boot from USB sticks) I get
SYSLINUX 3.72 2008-0925-25 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Unvin Could not find kernel image: linux boot:

when running the script as intended under ubuntu, this is the result:

When booting from the usb key, I get the same problem as in problem 1 above. HoboPrimate 01:08, 24 February 2009 (UTC) HoboPrimate 01:08, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Try this (at least in Ubuntu 8.10) menu: System -> Administration -> Partition Editor (GParted).
- Select your USB device (/dev/sdb in your case),
- then your partition (/dev/sdb1),
- then menu: Partition -> Manage Flags,
- check the boot box,
- and Close to mark the partition as bootable.
