I'm glad I asked.  Now that leads to another question.  If I wanted to skip the redundant download and open the image-writer-mac file in Terminal from the larger download Tom G. posted (Sugar-Creation-Kit-ver05.iso) how would I do that?  I have copies of that download both on my desktop and burned on a DVD. Caryl P.S. Is there a handy dandy guide to commands for the Mac Terminal anywhere? Sort of an "Idiot's Guide to the Mac Terminal" or "The Mac Terminal for Dummies?" > Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2010 12:20:05 +0100 > From: lucian.branescu@gmail.com > To: cbigenho@hotmail.com > CC: soas@lists.sugarlabs.org; iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org; support-gang@laptop.org; support-gang@lists.laptop.org > Subject: Re: [SoaS] [IAEP] [support-gang] SoaS Good News/Bad News > > Those are two commands, separated by a semicolon.
