This page outlines how to load the [[Sugar]] OS into a virtualized computing environment. This porting to virtual machines allows the [[Sugar]] OS software to be run on basically any hardware that supports the virtual machine.

This is another option for doing what is described on [[OS images for USB disks]]

To download a pre-packaged OLPC laptop:

# Download [http://www.moka5.com/ Moka5]'s [http://www.moka5.com:80/products/getstarted.html LivePC engine] for Windows
# Install the engine. The install for LivePC will ask if you want the host to save data to an external hard drive (like a USB drive) or to the desktop. When the installation is complete, the host machine will have Moka5's application which is a platform built on top of EMC's VMWare Player.
# Download an OLPC build from Moka5 directly via their [http://www.moka5.com:80/node/385 distribution server]
# Launch LivePC engine by clicking on the <code>*.lpc</code> file that you just downloaded


To create your own installation:
# Follow the steps above
# Click on "Create" at the bottom left of the application interface
# Load the Sugar OS ISO LiveCD. For a test I just downloaded the latest ISO and tried it
# Run the Sugar OS installer from within the newly created LivePC
# Save the LivePC state machine
