Sugar on a Stick Mirabelle released 25 May 2010

Are you new to Sugar?

The easiest way to get started is to use Sugar on a Stick: (1) prepare; (2) download; (3) burn; and (4) boot.

	(1) Prepare: Download the Fedora Live USB Creator from FedoraHosted
	(2) Download: Download the Sugar-on-a-Stick iso.
	(3) Burn: Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with 1 GB or more of free space into your computer and launch Live USB Creator to create a Sugar-on-a-Stick bootable image.
	(4) Boot: Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's BIOS, and then start up the computer.

Detailed installation instructions and booting instructions are available.

1. Use this script file http://bit.ly/livecd-iso-to-disk to create a bootable image. (Run chmod +x livecd-iso-to-disk.sh after you download the script to make it executable.)

2. Execute, as the root user, in one command with arguments, the following:

./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --overlay-size-mb 200 --home-size-mb 200 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /path/to/source.iso /dev/sd?1

where '?' in the final parameter represents the target bootable device node, such as sdb1 or sdc1, etc.

Be certain of your USB/SD scsi drive node name (such as sda, sdb, etc.) and partition (such as 1, 2, etc.).
