, 17:11, 21 November 2011Hardware requirements. Flash drive minimum stated as 2GB
If this is going to be your first attempt at running sugar, you could take the advice '''''buy rather than build'''''. For purchase information for Sugar pre-installed on a bootable USB flash drive, see [[Sugar Creation Kit#Commercial source of SoaS-loaded media]].

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]].
:Alternate: Boot from burned CD and enter "liveinst" in root terminal of sugar
