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.

	(1) Prepare: Download the Fedora Live USB Creator from FedoraHosted
	(2) Download: Download the Sugar-on-a-Stick iso.
	(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.
	(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.

	(1) Prepare: Use this script http://bit.ly/livecd-iso-to-disk to create a bootable image. (Run `chmod +x livecd-iso-to-disk.sh` after you download the script to make it executable.)
	(2) Download: Download the Sugar-on-a-Stick iso.
	(3) Burn: Execute, as the root user, in one command with arguments, the following: `./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 200 --home-size-mb 200 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /path/to/source.iso /dev/sd?1` where '`?`' in the final parameter represents the target bootable device node, such as `sdb1` or `sdc1`, etc.
	(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.

	(1) Prepare: Download Sun Virtualbox
	(2) Download: Download these three files: soas-v3-Mirabelle.mf, soas-v3-Mirabelle.ovf, and soas-v3-Mirabelle.vmdk Note that on some browsers on OSX, the file extensions are reset upon download. You may have to modify them as per above.
	(3) Launch: Virtualbox
	(4) Import: soas-v3-Mirabelle.ovf from the Import Appliance option under the File menu.
