Neither works.  Wonder if making it on the Windows side would do it...will try to find out how to do that.  USB didn't work, even with the boot-helper.  I can, and have, run Sugar with the Virtual Box.  In fact, I keep it in my toolbar. I have been busy with our family business the past few days.  I might have a little time tonight to try some other things. But houseguests come tomorrow afternoon and we leave for MT soon after they leave.  Won't have much time to play with this until I get back to MT.

From: caroline@solutiongrove.com To: cbigenho@hotmail.com CC: sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org; iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org Hi Caryl, How is it going? I know of two potentail issues. 1. Getting the right materials. At sugar camp we found that the USB created on the macbook was not working, only a PC created USB seemed to work. Plus you need both the USB and the boot helper. 2. some macbooks have a bug, when you boot everything goes fine through most of the boot and just when you are about to get to Sugar you get a mostly black screen with a sqiggle in the middle. Where are you at? I especially need people with problem #2 because I don't have a test machine that shows it and its a show stopper for me for all work in Boston Public Schools because their macbooks have this issue.
