For Windows Users
- Download the latest version of the Fedora LiveUSB Creator from http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator and extract it.
- Plug a target USB flash drive into your computer (minimum 1-gigabyte).
- Launch LiveUSB Creator.
- Select Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry in the drop-down menu on the upper-right side.
- Adjust the Persistent Storage slider. This enables you to save your work in Sugar onto the device.
- Select your flash drive as the target and click the Create Live USB button.
- Wait for the process to finish, then close the LiveUSB Creator program.
- Stop your flash drive using the Safely Remove Hardware dialog and eject it.
For GNU/Linux Users
TODO: add screenshot here & add liveusb-creator instructions!
Linux Users will use a slightly different approach than Windows Users to ensure maximum compatibility with different distributions. Please follow the instructions carefully to ensure your data is preserved.
- Download the Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry live image from here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso
- If you are a Fedora User, download the livecd-iso-to-disk script from here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
- Become root and execute the following command in a terminal: ./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --overlay-size-mb xxx --delete-home ./soas-2-blueberry.iso /dev/sdX
- Replace "xxx" with the amount (in MB) of persistent storage you wish to allocate for saving you work in Sugar to the flash drive. We suggest at least 512 MB.
- Replace "X" with the letter/number identifier of your flash drive.
- Advanced usage: You can simultaneously format your flash drive by adding the option --format --reset-mbr when you call the livecd-iso-to-disk script.
- Become root and execute the following command in a terminal: ./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --overlay-size-mb xxx --delete-home ./soas-2-blueberry.iso /dev/sdX
- If you use any other distribution, download the image-writer tool from here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/image-writer
- Open a terminal and become root, either by using su or sudo.
- Enter the following command: ./image-writer soas-2-blueberry.iso
- The script will output a device name; confirm that it matches with your flash drive.
- You will be notified once the process has finished.
For Mac OSX Users
The procedure for Mac OS/X users is similar to the one for Linux users. Mac users should be aware that they may be able to prepare their flash drive on a Mac, but depending on the generation of the hardware used, they may need to use another computer to test whether the prepared flash drive works.
- Download the Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry live image from here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso
- Open a terminal and run: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX (whereas X is the device number)
- Run: sudo dd if=./soas-2-blueberry.iso of=/dev/diskX bs=512 (Please pay attention when running the dd command, as it will wipe your flash drive!)
- Eject your flash drive by running: diskutil eject /dev/diskX
