I'm glad I asked. Now that leads to another question.= If I wanted to skip the redundant download and open the image-writer-mac = file in Terminal from the larger download Tom G. posted (Sugar-Creation-Kit= -ver05.iso) how would I do that? I have copies of that download both on my= desktop and burned on a DVD. Caryl P.S. Is there a handy dandy guide to commands for the Mac Terminal anywhere= ?
