Hi Folks,
I have spent 2 days trying to make a bootable Live CD of SoaS for
distribution at our booth at SCaLE 10X on Saturday. I have had lots
of problems. Supposedly this can be done on both PCs and Macs. Do any
of you have any experience with this sort of thing?
I have used the instructions on the Sugar Labs Wiki and even called
Apple. They walked me through the process on Lion (OS 10.7.2) and
things seemed to go well until I tried to boot it on my Mac. I got
this message:
No root device found
Boot has failed
Sleeping forever
I googled this error message and the problem seems to be very common
with Fedora live CDs and live usbs. There doesn't seem to be a
definitive answer.
We need this for our booth Saturday! I have 100 blank CDs and sleeves
arriving tomorrow and a disk burner to make the copies, but without a
master we are "dead in the water."
Here is a link to Tom Gilliard's great instructions:

Caryl;
Sorry you are having problems:
Double Click on the sugar.iso you downloaded to the Mac Desktop
-this will mount it as a disk on the desktop
open Disk Utility
-select the same .iso
Click Burn on top bar of Disk utility (circle with yellow and black sectors)
Insert CD
(burn)
This is detailed in a series of annotated screen shots from my Mac
Powerbook Pro i7 here:

Hope this works.
Cordially
Tom Gilliard
I would be happy if any of the builds would work... even Strawberry!
I was hoping that SoaS was finally ready to introduce to the general
public via "Taste of Sugar" Live CDs that would work on both PCs and
Intel Macs. Of course, I have been hoping for this since Blueberry.
Any ideas? Any solutions? I have tried the Sugar Labs irc
discussions and they gave me some suggestions, but so far, no luck!
Caryl
P.S. For my presentation of Sugar I plan to use Virtual Box. It isn't
installed and tested yet. Hope I don't have a problem. I do have an
EFI usb version that Tom G sent me, but would probably have problems
getting it into the projector to show on the screen. Preferences will
disappear with the reboot (or maybe not?).
