There is an issue booting the 32 bit version off newer Macs. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/soas/soas-x86_64-20100416.18.iso">http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/soas/soas-x86_64-20100416.18.iso</a> Regards, Peter On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 6:46 PM, Caryl Bigenho <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:cbigenho@hotmail.com"><cbigenho@hotmail.com></a> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi George and All, OK, so I tried changing the name of the SoaS usb stick to "FEDORA" in the finder on 2 different Macs, running 10.4 and 10.5. It wasn't an option on either... but I found out why. I just don't know how to fix it. I did the get-info process (highlight the item on the screen, then "command-i". At the very bottom I expanded "Sharing & Permissions".... "You can only read" So.... that explains why I can't change the name and why the Name and Color Combination choices don't persist between boots (recall... I was able to boot it with the extra step of holding down the "c" key while booting with the boot helper disk and then "Tab" and editing the text that appears on the screen as suggested by George below). So... How do we create an SoaS stick that isn't "read only"????

We used the method where we dragged the files over from a finder window to the terminal window. I feel sure it is good, but I don't have a handy PC to try it on and there is a funny problem trying to boot it on the MacBook with the help of the Boot Helper CD. I got that same fateful sounding "sleeping forever" message that someone else got earlier in the week. The MacBook, requires a boot helper disk that looks for a usb stick named FEDORA. I suspect they wrote it that way so it can also be used with Strawberry and with other future versions of SoaS. However, this stick is named "soas-2-blueberry", not FEDORA. Well I tried to rename the usb stick "FEDORA" when it was finished so I could use it on the MacBook, but, try as I may, I cannot change the name. I even tried it on Ed's computer too (a G4 Powerbook) with no luck. I can change the name of any other file or other usb stick, but not this one. It is apparently "soas-2-blueberry", forever. I even tried another tack. I changed the name of the "soas-2-blueberry.iso" file to "FEDORA.iso" before going to terminal to run the image-writer-mac program again and make another stick. It still wrote the name as "soas-2-blueberry". So now, I have made 2 SoaS usb drives I can probably use on PCs, but not on Macs. Finally, I tried the method one of you put up a few days ago where you boot holding down the C key, then the Tab, then change the instructions in the edit mode. While this did work, it is definitely not "Teacher-friendly." If someone could figure out a way to change the name of the usb stick from "soas-2-blueberry" to FEDORA somewhere along the way when making the SoaS stick, we would have something that definitely would meet the "teacher test." I repeat, all usual methods failed. Any ideas??? I still have 8 days before InfoTech. Caryl BTW, The choice of "Name" and color combination did not persist from boot to boot. _______________________________________________ support-gang mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:support-gang@lists.laptop.org">support-gang@lists.laptop.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/support-gang">http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/support-gang</a> _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org">SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas</a> </pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> </pre> <pre wrap=""> <hr size="4" width="90%"> _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org">SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
