Thanks Thomas,
today is too late in the day for me and tomorrow I will be busy all day.
Will try this later on but I´m afraid you overestimated my capacity, I said I am a dummy.
These instructions and so many alternatives remind me quite a bit of previous experiences when I could see the same initial screen of the XOs at the schools and start some of the programs but there were lots of things that were not working.
Thanks again.
WIll let you know if I make any progress.

Frederick,
I am not familiar with WIndows. I switched to Macintosh in 1993.
Last May a few nice knowledgeable guys tried to put SoaS in my Mac but it wouldn´t work.
They concluded SoaS was not yet ready for MacOS.
Does SoaS work now in Macs?
Has anyone tried it successfully?
Tested today: 04/08/2011
Macbook Pro i7: Intel Core i7-2620 CPU@ 2.70 z x4 Intel Sandybridge Mobile GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT
1-) VirtualBox 4.0.4 OSX Emulation seems to be best: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Emulator_image_files ( a list of ready to go Importable Virtual Machines with sugar.)
Trisquel-4.1-sugar works very well as a SoaS and is Recommended for Intel Macs http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Emulator_image_files/Trisquel#Trisquel-4.1-suga...
2-) These CD's boot on the MAC (hold "C" key during power on on Mac about 10+ sec) Ethernet (wired) and usb mouse work (No wireless)
http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Beta.RC2/Live/i686/Fe... Gnome3-shell 2.91.93 Desktop
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=2983261&name=Fedora-15... SoaS f15
there are still some problems with Soas: on first login to Live User it tries to go to start openbox log out then type in live user in the login bar "other" select sugar as gdm dropdown it will fail next log in live user (no password) and sugar will start If Ethernet (wired) is connected the f1 neigborhood works on jabber Control Panel/ About My Computer: Sugar on a stick 5 sugar 0.92.0
3-)Notes: 04/06/2011 10:15 AM Re: [Sugar-devel] [SoaS] SoaS v5 status pbrobinson had these alternate instructions:
Those impatient people can boot up the current release and when it
boots to the login screen do a "Ctrl + Alt + F2" login as root, run "rpm -e openbox", do a "Ctrl + Alt + F8" and then login and you should get a lovely sweet Sugar :-D
I still think Virtualization is the Best way to run sugar on a Mac
