For GNU/Linux Users
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.
If you are a Fedora User, run the following command: yum install liveusb-creator
- Launch LiveUSB the Creator and follow the instructions above.
If you use any other distribution, download the image-writer tool from here and the live image from here. Unfortunately, image-writer will not allow you to save your work; it does not create a persistent storage overlay
- Open a terminal and become root, either by using su or sudo.
- Enter the following command: ./image-writer soas-2-blueberry.iso
- WARNING: If you proceed here, your flash drive will be wiped!
- 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 a persistent USB see this link:[1]
For Mac OS X Users
The procedure for Mac OS X users is similar to the one for Linux users. Verify that you have an Intel processor, and not a PowerPC (PPC) G3, G4, or G5 processor Apple Macintosh. 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.
