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

  1. Download Moka5's LivePC engine for Windows
  2. 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.
  3. Launch LivePC engine
  4. Click on "Create" at the bottom left of the application interface
  5. Load the Sugar OS ISO LiveCD. For a test I just downloaded the latest ISO and tried it
  6. Run the Sugar OS installer from within the newly created LivePC
  7. Save the LivePC state machine
