 *  Use Fedora Live USB Creator
 * Download the ISO image from here.
 * Download the Live USB Creator from FedoraHosted here.
 * Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with more than 2 GB of free space into your computer. (See LiveOS image and Cautions with using Live USB devices regarding flash drive size and usage.)
 * Launch Live USB Creator.
 * Select the 'Browse' button to 'Use existing Live CD' and find the downloaded .iso file image on your system.
 * Adjust the Persistent Storage slider. This enables you to save changes to the system and additional Sugar Activities onto the device.

 * Wait for the process to finish, then close the Live USB Creator program.
 * Stop your flash drive with the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media notification area icon dialog, and eject it.

 * Use Windows 7 built-in Disk Image Burner or a free utility, like ImgBurn, to write the downloaded .iso file onto a blank CD.
 * Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with 1 GB or more of free space into your computer. (See LiveOS image and Cautions with using Live USB devices regarding flash drive size and usage.)
 * Boot your computer with the CD-ROM disc. You probably need to press F1, F10, F12, Esc, or a similar key as the computer starts up in order to set the boot source for your computer to the CD-ROM device.

 * Click the 'Become root' icon, Activity-become-root.svg, to gain administrative permissions in the Terminal session.
 * Change the working directory to /LiveOS/ cd /LiveOS/
 * Be certain of your USB/SD scsi drive node name (such as sda, sdb, etc.) and partition (such as 1, 2, etc.), yielding, for example, /dev/sdb1.
 * Use the df -Th command to confirm your devices before executing the following script.
 * execute the Linux command line: ./livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 300 --home-size-mb 200 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /dev/live /dev/sd?1
 * Shutdown the physical machine.
 * Reboot from the newly-installed Live USB with Mirabelle.

   Continue from step #4 in the Burn a CD-ROM disc section above.  Shutdown the virtual machine.  Reboot your physical computer from the newly-installed Live USB with Mirabelle.   -->
 * 3. Launch a virtual machine, then run livecd-iso-to-disk
 * Download and install VirtualBox (for example; you could do something similar with another vm).
 * Create a new virtual machine, choose a name, such as Mirabelle.
 * Choose Linux for the Operating System and Version Fedora (64 bit) if available, or Fedora, on systems lacking 64-bit functionality.
 * Choose Base Memory Size: 256 MB to match an XO-1, 512 or 1024 MB to match an XO-1.5.

 * Insert a USB storage device into your physical computer and enable the VirtualBox USB controller. Then add a filter to recognize the inserted device in the USB section of the VirtualBox machine setup.
 * Start the new virtual machine.
 * Verify that the USB device is recognized in the running virtual machine.
 * Your device appears in the hover box for the USB stick icon in the virtual machine bottom frame.
 * df -Th reveals your device mounted mounted on a device node, for example, /dev/sda1, on a filesystem volume mount point, such as /media/
