OK...so can this information be added to the new Sugar Guide?<br><br>Caryl<br><br>> Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2009 17:25:33 +0100<br>> Subject: Re: [IAEP] status on Sugar Guide for 0.84<br>> From: sdaly.be@gmail.com<br>> To: cbigenho@hotmail.com<br>> CC: iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org<br>> <br>> Greetings Caryl,<br>> <br>> I agree with you and in fact I've been very pleased to run Sugar v0.84<br>> at full screen in virtualization on a Mac Mini, following the<br>> instructions at this link: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads<br>> easily reachable from the homepage of www.sugarlabs.org<br>> <br>> (note: the download link onthe "Sugar on a Stick VirtualBox" page<br>> appears to be broken it should be<br>> http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/appliances/soas2-20090321.tar.gz)<br>> <br>> We are still updating those wiki pages and the Mac page does need to<br>> make clearer that Sugar will only run on an Intel processor Mac. It's<br>> a pity because I'm sure lots of schools have older Macs (I have a<br>> bunch at the house myself).<br>> <br>> thanks<br>> <br>> Sean<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 5:11 PM, Caryl Bigenho <cbigenho@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> > Hi...<br>> ><br>> > The new Sugar manual looks very professional.
