# '''Load''': <br>Here is a simple way to create a SOAS usb flash drive.<br>
 +
## Open a shell (command line interpreter)
 +
## Type <code>df -Th</code>. This shows all of the mounted partitions (on your computer's hard drive.)
 +
## Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with 2 GB or more of free space into your computer
 +
## After a few moment type <code>df -Th</code> again. You should see an added line for your USB drive. Check the size of the drive (e.g. 3.7GB for a 4GB drive) and its type: vfat to confirm this line refers to your usb flash drive. The first field on this line, e.g. /dev/sdb1, identifies the partition. For dd command, you will use /dev/sdb [this field without the partition number].
 +
## type <code>cd ~/Downloads</code>. Then type <code>ls Fedora*.iso</code> Assuming you downloaded to the Downloads folder, this will show the SOAS iso.
 +
## Type <code>sudo dd if=Fedora-SoaS-Live-x86_64-25-1.3.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M</code> with the correct if (input file) and of (output device). The dd command erases the 'of' device so make sure it doesn't say /dev/sda which would erase your computer's hard drive!!! Also make sure you have saved any valuable information on the usb flash drive.
 +
# '''Boot''': Insert the USB stick into a bootable USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's <abbr title="Basic Input/Output System">BIOS</abbr> setup, and then start up the computer.<br><br>
