[SoaS] Sugar-Creation-Kit DVD (preliminary version): "soas-1-strawberry.iso" problem

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Again...

I forgot to mention, I have not been able to open "image-writer-mac." I get the following error message:

The document “image-writer-mac” could not be opened. PythonLauncher cannot open files of this type.

I tried with the copy on the Sugar Creation Kit and have also downloaded it twice, all with the same result.

Hi Again, Tom and SoaS Team,

I'm really struggling with this!  I accidently stumbled on the method described below, which seems to have worked.  Now... when I put the disk in and open it to see what is there it shows a picture of a disk and says  "soas-1-strawberry.iso" under it. The Blueberry disk has a similar image. Is this correct?

The boot helper disk is very different. It shows these files: BOOT.CAT, INITRD0.IMG, ISOLINUX.BIN, ISOLINUX.CFG, SPLASH.JPG, VESAMENU.C32, and VMLINUZ0.  Is that what it is supposed to have on it?

Here is how I did the Live CD for Strawberry that seems to be right (I won't know until Tuesday afternoon when I try it on a PC):

**********************************************
Open the Sugar Creation Kit and in the file window

Click on the "soas-1-strawberry.iso"  file to highlight it

The Finder will be running

Open the File menu in the Finder and select: 

Burn "soas-1-strawberry.iso" to disk

Insert CD at prompt

Window opens, name it, choose burn speed, Click "Burn"

*************************************************************

Now I am trying to figure out how to do the usb sticks.  What would happen if I just dragged and dropped the SoaS file over and let it load on (copy to) the stick?  Whenever I try to do anything in Terminal it doesn't understand the commands I am entering.

I did successfully make a Soas on a usb on a PC back in January. It was the same one that later crashed my daughter-in-law's laptop because I hadn't allotted storage space for the Journal and it quickly filled up and froze the whole system!

If there are any other easier, more specific instructions for the Mac, please point me in the right direction.  Maybe I will have to do it with a direct download even though it takes a lot of time. That is what worked on the PC.  Help!

Caryl

Note to the rest of you... if you think I am having problems, just wait until we get the classroom teachers started on this!  We need to get me through this so I can help them!

  Hi Tom,

I am still working my way through the resources in the Sugar Creation Kit and I ran into a snag when trying to make the Strawberry Live CD.  The Blueberry (v.2) appears to be OK with the disk having 581.9 MG written to it (I will test it on a PC at a friends house Tuesday afternoon).

I tried the same process with Strawberry (v.1) and ended up with a CD with only 8.4 MB on it.  Looking at the back, you can see that very little space was used.  I thought I would try again, so I put in another new CD.  When I got the info on the file I had downloaded (for the DVD but also saved on my computer), it said it was 379.9 MB but when I moved it to a burn folder to make the live CD it shrank to 44MB!  I didn't try to burn another with this file because something seems to be amiss.
  

Caryl;

I took a DVD burned from a downloaded DVD.iso of v05 Sugar Creation Kit

copied soas-1-strawberry.iso to the desktop from the DVD

Burned it to a CD



I did this same procedure in a PC running Ubuntu9.04

and my wifes' Apple G4 Laptop



The CD Burned on the apple works fine on the PC with Ubuntu.

Both CD's showed the same properties:

"Soas2-200906221314"

"25 items, totalling 387.6 MB"



This appears to have been an computer error on your end. Please try
again.  : )

  I'm going to proceed with trying to make some of the other things like the boot helper CD and the usb stick versions and see if I can get anything to run in an updated Virtual Box on my MacBook.

But, what could be the problem with the "soas-1-strawberry.iso?"

More later!
