A review of installation methods

This is a work in progress. Please review and contribute.

zyx-liveinstaller <from Ferminal>Sugar_on_a_Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller
- creates real file structure on USB or HD (without rebooting)
- name and color selection (and ssh keys remain the same)
  This can be a problem for using it for distribution
liveinst (Anaconda)<from Terminal> Sugar_on_a_Stick/Linux/Non-compressed_Fedora#Use_liveinst_command_in_terminal
- installs to HD or USB stick
- If you make an .img file from the USB before running "firstboot", it becomes a good way to duplicate the sticks.
Net install CD Sugar_on_a_Stick/Linux/Non-compressed_Fedora#Make_your_OWN_Custom_SUGAR-DESKTOP_USB_Boot_Stick
- need a fast Internet connection
- very slow install(6+ hours for USB)
- allows custom install of sugar-desktop only or Gnome/KDE + Sugar
- If you make an .img file from the USB before running "firstboot", it becomes a good way to duplicate the sticks.
