Instructions for creating a Sugar-on-a-Stick USB key from Windows
1. Download Fedora LiveUSB Creator, a cross-platform tool for easily installing live operating systems on to USB flash drives.
2. Download [[[:Template:SoaSiso]] the Sugar on a Stick iso image] to your desktop.
3. Insert a USB memory stick into a USB port on your computer.
4. Double-click on the liveusb-creator.exe file to open the program.
5. Use "Browse" to select the Sugar on a Stick .iso file you downloaded to your desktop.
6. Set the Target Device to your USB stick.
7. Move the slider to set some persistent storage. (Hint: Set it high, then it will tell you how much space there is, and you can adjust it to the right point. How much persistent memory you set will depend on the size of the .iso and the size of your USB. Make sure you leave some so that people can use the Journal.) Note: persistent storage will save Journal items between reboots--but not after a Sugar system update with the LiveUSB Creator (in its current version). Watch this page for instructions to making your Journal persist between system updates.
8. Click "Create Live USB". It will take a few minutes.
9. When it is finished, be sure to properly eject the USB device using the System Tray icon. Failure to do this can render your stick unbootable.
