Caryl:
look at:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS#Soasv6-Desktop_EFI_USB_Builder_prebuilt_Virtualbox_Appliance
I am uploading it now (This should be available to download in several
hours) after I finish testing the Download here.
This is an importable VirtualBox Appliance that has all of the tools
needed to build an EFI boot USB.
The problem is that the EFI boot USB does not boot on all Macs...
my 8.1 MacBook Pro i7 boots and works well but my wife's MacBook Air
does not...
I am also building an importable Virtual Box Appliance of Soav6 so that
it will run in OSX on the Mac.
The VirtualBox version of Soas is preferred as wireless is handled in
the VirtualBox envelope.

Tom Gilliard
Note:
A Soasv5 Coconut importable virtualbox appliance is already on the wiki

Hi Tom,
I was hoping this would be a plug-and-play thing like Etoys-to-go is. While, with
effort, I can get VB to work, it is beyond most non-techies... parents, teachers, most
kids. I'll try it soon and see if I can come up with a "Grannies Guide" that
explains the process in simple English.
Any hints you can send will be appreciated. Right now I am working on the XO
Users Manual Revision, but when I have that under control, I will have a chance
to try the new SoaS.

I just made a f16 EFI Boot USB using VirtualBox 4.1.4 on my MAcbook
Pro i7 using the guest additions. It boots RC4 of x86-64 Soas live
nicely

Hi...
I am following the progress of this with great interest, and as soon as I
finish the work I promised to do on the Help Activity/Users Manual refresh, I
will have a chance to try it. I do have a few questions that will help me get
started.
1) Which Mac OS X are you running?
2) Has this been tested on a MacBook?
3) Can I create the persistent usb on my MacBook using the instructions I found
in item 4 on this page?
http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html
If this works, it is really good news! I would love to be able to show it at SCaLE 10X
in Los Angeles on Jan 20-22. Should I put in a proposal for a presentation or is it not
ready for the "big time" yet?
Better still.... would someone from Sugar Labs like to do a presentation at
SCaLE?
I'm looking forward to hearing answers!

We now have a persistent EFI boot USB for Macs...
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS#MacBook_Persistent_SoaS_v5_and_SoaS_v6_EFI_Boot_USB
works with f16 RC4 x86-64 Soas.iso
