With thanks to Read the Docs SoaS Loader is available to preview on http://soas-loader.readthedocs.org

Detailed Description
The method involves `livecd-iso-to-disk` as this page.

Construction is copied from Help Activity, which uses Sphinx, http://sphinx-doc.org/.

A liveinst method is under consideration.

Pro, makes nice 4 or 8 GB sticks.

Con, instructions are more difficult to write for novices.
 * If the tutorial is to be available to all users, they should not easily be able to delete the host OS as could happen with anaconda.
 * Fairly detailed instructions are necessary to explain how to set up a satisfactory for children boot record.

Future versions
Might include a script which would probe the capacity of an inserted USB stick,and deliver the livecd-iso-to-disk command on confirmation by the user.

Might include liveinst instructions under the heading `How to install Sugar on an expired Windows XP machine`.

Benefit to Sugar
Allow new users to adopt Sugar more easily.
