ZyX-LiveInstaller allows you to install Sugar when it is already running from either a LiveUSB device or LiveCD media to a system or external disk. This results in what is considered a traditional operating system installation on disk (or USB-Stick/SD-Card).
'''Note:''' this is ''not'' a method to create a Sugar-on-a-Stick (LiveUSB). Though you can install to an external usb drive/stick, resulting in an installation that very similarly boots your system to the Sugar UI. The difference is that the resulting system is not a 'Live' system. This means that it uses a normal filesystem, instead of a compressed read-only filesystem with a read-write snapshot/overlay above, as a 'LiveUSB' does.
'''IMPORTANT WARNING:''' This is fairly software. It will overwrite entire partitions or disks -- ''as well as your bootloader'' -- during installation. It is currently intended only for users that are familiar with the risks and possible complications of installing a GNU/Linux distribution to system disk. If you need a dual-boot configuration, you will need to configure <code>grub</code> yourself.
