[Marketing] [SoaS] SoaS 4 - Mango Lassi is out.

[Matt Wronkiewicz]

Raffael,

That sounds the same as what I saw when I tried to boot the 64-bit v3
on a MacBook Pro. I recommend you try an alternate method. First, get
the 32-bit ISO. Then, rename the USB disk "Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS"
and put the 32-bit SoaS on it. Try booting again. You may also want to
press the tab key when the bootsplash comes up and select the basic
video driver option. I got a lot further with this method, but it
never booted all the way to the Sugar environment. Maybe it will work
for you. If it doesn't work, you have two other options, both of which
require the USB stick to be renamed "FEDORA". One, get a USB CD-ROM
drive and use the boot helper CD to boot the USB stick. Two, download
VirtualBox and use the boot helper CD ISO to boot your USB stick in
the virtual environment. Both of these also require the 32-bit SoaS
file.
