===SoaS Installation on USB/SD===
+
Let's simplify the base instructions and leave this sort of information on a troubleshooting page.
−
* Use ONLY this script file to create a bootable image, http://bit.ly/livecd-iso-to-disk.
 
−
:(Don't forget to <code>chmod +x tools_livecd-iso-to-disk.sh</code> after you download the script.)
 
−
* The .iso file may be burnt to a CD-ROM and booted on your PC (or mounted in a virtual machine to boot it):
 
  
−
'''Note:'''
 
−
* See this [http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg00335.html announcement] for more information.
 
−
* To install the .iso disc image, execute the shell script as the root user in <u>one</u> command with arguments as follows:
 
−
<div style="border:1px dashed #2f6fab; padding:8px; margin:8px; background-color:#f9f9f9"><code>sudo ./tools_livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --overlay-size-mb 400 --delete-home --extra-kernel-args selinux=0 ./soas04.iso /dev/sd*1</code></div>
 
−
:* (*) ''be sure of your USB/SD '''s'''torage '''d'''evice name (such as sda, sdb, etc.) and partition (such as 1, 2, etc.), yielding, for example,'' <code>/dev/sdb1</code>. ''Use the mount command or the partition manager to confirm it before executing the script.''
 
 
:* <code>--format --reset-mbr</code> are optional arguments for the shell script, but may be excluded to preserve the existing disc format and data.  See [[olpc:How to Damage a FLASH Storage Device]] for a discussion of why you might want to try to keep your factory format on a flash storage device.  
 
:* <code>--format --reset-mbr</code> are optional arguments for the shell script, but may be excluded to preserve the existing disc format and data.  See [[olpc:How to Damage a FLASH Storage Device]] for a discussion of why you might want to try to keep your factory format on a flash storage device.  
−
:* If you do use the format and reset master boot record arguments, you'll want to specify the target device name and not a partition, that is <code>/dev/sd*</code> with no partition number, instead of <code>/dev/sd*1</code> as in the example above used to specify an existing partition. ''As noted above, confirm your target disc device name&mdash;in this case, it is VERY DANGEROUS to your other discs if this is entered wrong, as the whole disc will be reformatted and a new master boot record written causing all previously written data on that disc to be lost.''
+
:*: [[Talk:Downloads]] and [[LiveOS image]] have more information on this and other installation options.

:* If you do use the format and reset master boot record arguments, you'll want to specify the target device name and not a partition, that is {{Code|/dev/sd'''?'''}} with no partition number, instead of {{Code|/dev/sd'''?'''1}} as in the example above used to specify an existing partition. ''As noted above, confirm your target disc device name&mdash;in this case, it is VERY DANGEROUS to your other discs if this is entered wrong, as the whole disc will be reformatted and a new master boot record written causing all previously written data on that disc to be lost.''  -->

====zyx-liveinstaller====
 
−
* zyx-liveinstaller is a method for installing SoaS '''from''' either a USB device or Live CD media '''to''' a system or external disk. It is known to work best with the most recent snapshot build - soas04.iso.[http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/]
 
−
* To use, start the root terminal activity, type 'zyx-liveinstaller', then press enter.
 
−
* start the partitioner,
 
−
recommend 4-GB USB/SD device formatted as follows:
 
−
200 /boot ext2
 
−
3000 / ext3
 
−
(no swap needed)
 
−
Exit the partitioner by hitting the X in the top corner of window.
 
−
Then read and follow the simple wizard, choosing destination volumes/partitions for boot, root, and swap.  root must be at least 2GB(not currently checked for by the installer).  boot may be the same as root, and swap is optional.
 
−
* This is a *destructive* install, meaning that the contents of the disks or partitions you choose will be overwritten entirely.
 
−
* During installation, you are free to use other activities.
 
−
* After installation completes, you may remove the LiveUSB or LiveCD, and continue using the newly installed system - ''without rebooting''!!!.  This means that anything done with the system before, during, or after installation persists into the installed system.
 
−
====use dd command (not working at present)====
 
−
on this hybrid image to make a bootable USB/SD (NOT RECOMMENDED)
 
−
Makes bootable USB from SoaS .iso
 
−
*If you use dd command to write a USB or SD image, there will be no persistence. The SCRIPT method detailed above should be used.
 
−
 
 
−
In Root Terminal:
 
−
 
 
−
dd if=soas04.iso of=/dev/sd(?) bs=4M
 
−
 
 
−
* Be sure your USB/SD is /dev/sd? check with partition manager to be sure.
 
−
CAUTION: ** You can destroy you Hard Disk if you enter it wrong! **

    • Note that with larger images one may need to adjust the overlay or home folder size in order to fit the installation onto a 1-GB USB device (for example, with soas-x86_64-20101004.16.iso (503 MB), --home-size-mb 190 was needed), otherwise, the filesystem will get corrupted during the creation of the home folder as the disc space is exhausted.
