A review of installation methods

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

Installation to HD, USB hard drive, and USB/SD flash drives

Uncompressed file systems

1. 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

2. 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.
3. 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.

Compressed file systems on USB/SD devices

1. script with .iso file - See Talk:SoaS_Blueberry_Instructions.
2. live-usbcreator application
   • Download the latest version of the Fedora LiveUSB Creator from http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator and extract it.
   • Plug a blank target USB flash drive (or SD Card) 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 to download the liveUSB disk image. Alternatively, download Blueberry here, then hit the Browse button and select the downloaded file.
   • Adjust the Persistent Storage slider. This enables you to save the child's 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.
3. other Linux distributions Sugar_on_a_Stick/Linux

Duplication of USB/SD .img files

1. dd copy of USB/SD <from terminal>Sugar_on_a_Stick/Linux/Non-compressed_Fedora#Duplication_of_USB_Sticks Autologon Sugar_on_a_Stick/Linux/Non-compressed_Fedora#AUTO_Login_to_SUGAR
