I’m just refreshing myself on current status of Sugar with a view to introducing teachers to it in a forthcoming workshop in Vanuatu. We’ll be using tablets as well as PCs so I have familiarised myself with Sugarizer. I then intended to introduce the wider world of Sugar conveniently with SOAS. So I have downloaded both the 32-bit and 64-bit iso files and verified their hashes. I also download the latest version of USB Live Installer. I formatted a fairly new 16GB USB with FAT32 and installed SOAS on it leaving 2000Mb of persistent memory. The USB stick is a “SanDisk Cruzer Facet 16GB”. Immediately I run into problems. When booting (on a fairly recent Toshiba i7 laptop) it stops with “vesamenu.c32 not a com32r image”. On pressing Tab key I do not see “Live” as an option, but it does start with the option linux0. Sugar boots and I can use it for a few minutes, I tried Speak and Turtle Art for instance, but within a short time it hangs and needs a hard boot. I repeated the whole process with the 32-bit (verified) iso file and same problem. I’ll give this problem only a few hours as that is all I have. But I would like to know what are the requirements for a reliable repeatable experience with SOAS, as it says on the website, to get Sugar into Vanuatu schools.
