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
Is the Trisquel 5 sugar .iso complete?

I just Booted a trisquel-sugar_5.0_i686-20111204.iso CD I burned with
Disk Utility last night in my MacBook Pro i7
-It works fine.
* *For A Mac Boot from this CD:*
* insert CD
Hold down the *Option* key as you press the *power button* and
hold it until a *CD icon* appears labeled *Windows*
This may take 10-30 Seconds to appear
Use => arrow keys to select it

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:

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!

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?).
