→Cautions with using Live USB's
*If you do a yum update on a small USB you can overload the Persitent Overlay. [https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ticket/28]"Fedora 10 adds the 'reset_overlay' option that you can pass on the kernel command line which helps to recover."[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Category_talk:Live_USB&action=edit&redlink=1]

* Use a larger USB:(4GB or even 8GB), if you plan to do updates or install new programs.
* Use a larger USB:(4GB or even 8GB), if you plan to do updates or install new programs.
* If you use a 1GB USB, do not (i) install large updates or activities or (ii) download large files. The 300MB overlay will quickly fill up (e.g., within an hour), and your USB will become corrupted (i.e., unbootable) without any warning. Also, check your Journal free space frequently.
*Use zyx-liveinstaller [http://wiki.sugalabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller ] for soas-v2-Blueberry or '''liveinst''' command for Fedora based USB's in terminal to make a non-live USB. It will require about 2x as large USB as they create a "real file system" as the file structure will not be compressed. These non-live USB installs are more robust in use.
