===Soas stick that writes live USB's===
 +
this USB can make a new USB with liveusb-creator called from the terminal
 +
 
 +
How To Make Stick:
 +
 
 +
1-) In Gparted, (Partition Manager),format a Lexar Jumpdrive Firefly 4GB USB:
 +
/dev/sd(*)1 fat 16 Fedora  1.86 Gib boot
 +
/dev/sd(*)2 fat 16 My Files 1.86 Gib
 +
 
 +
(*)''' Be certain of your sticks device name''' ie: /dev/sdb,/dev/sdc....
 +
In terminal enter "mount" and you will see a list including your device.
 +
 
 +
2-) In terminal, install the soasxxx.iso to the first partition:
 +
 
 +
./livecd-iso-to-disk  --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 800 soas-xxx.iso /dev/sd(*)1
 +
 
 +
This leaves an empty 2nd Partition on the USB  labeled "My Files"
 +
 
 +
3-)remove and re-insert USB in PC (it will appear as 2 USB's on Desktop)
 +
 
 +
Paste a copy of soasxxx.iso from the PC into the 2nd Partition "My Files"
 +
 
 +
4-) Boot PC with USB stick.
 +
 
 +
5-)in root terminal:
 +
yum install liveusb-creator
 +
6-)to start program:
 +
in terminal:
 +
liveusb-creator
 +
 
 +
In the Graphical Program the soasxxx.iso is found in the "My Files" partition.
 +
This partition is seen on the frame in sugar and can store files for the user .
 +
 
 +
Any other live.iso can be pasted into the 2nd "My Files" Partition which appears on a PC Desktop when it is inserted.
 +
(It has the capacity to hold up to 3)
 +
 
 +
With this USB, you only need 2 USB's 1-)This Boot USB and 2-)Target to make new live USB copies.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
===How To Sugarize liveusb-creator===
 +
 
 +
'''DO this when running a live USB SOAS '''
 +
 
 +
*Locations of activities in sugar versions:
 +
soas-1-strawberry          /home/liveuser/Activites
 +
soas-v2-Blueberry          /home/liveuser/Activities
 +
soas-i386-Nightly composes: /usr/share/sugar/activities
 +
soas-v3-Mirabelle:          /usr/share/sugar/activities
 +
F12-EDU-spin:              /home/xxxx/Activities
 +
 
 +
IN Sugar Terminal enter:
 +
  su -
 +
  yum install liveusb-creator  15 pkgs  32M
 +
  yum install wget                    711k
 +
  yum install gedit                    5.7

'''Instructions:'''
 +
--------'''copied from:  http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/#sugxterm'''--------
 +
 
 +
"Sugarize an X terminal program
 +
(SOURCES: [http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/albert/sugarize], [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-January/009387.html],[http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1555.msg11676#msg11676],[http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1555.msg12054#msg12054] and CatMoran)
 +
 
 +
I know that this works for firefox, I can't vouch for any other program. I know that it does not work for mc. It also doesn't work for roto's current mplayer configuration, because only programs that use the same command every time (ie, no input file name, in this case) can be set up to run this way.
 +
 
 +
To setup (one time):
 +
 
 +
Start a Terminal activity. Enter the following commands. (They log you in as root, gets a copy of Albert Cahalan's compiled libsugarize file, and gets the script I created.)
 +
 
 +
su
 +
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/libsugarize.so
 +
chmod 755 libsugarize.so
 +
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/sug
 +
chmod 755 sug
 +
 +
Optional, if you want to use the icons I've already 'created':
 +
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/plain.svg
 +
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/ff.svg
 +
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/l.svg
 +
 
 +
>*the script "sug" needs to be edited to reflect the location of activities in different versions of SUGAR:
 +
 
 +
*Edit the line :"CREATEPATH"= at begining of script "sug"
 +
(use gedit command in terminal)
 +
 
 +
/bin/sh
 +
CREATEPATH=/home/xxxx/Activities/
 +
ACTIVITYFILE=activity/activity/activity.info
 +
>
 +
 
 +
To run:
 +
 
 +
Locate an icon you want to use/reuse.
 +
You can copy any .svg file located in /usr/share/activities/*.activity/activity/*.svg  >(SEE NOTE AT TOP OF PAGE)<
 +
 
 +
Or you can use one of the icons I've created. (wget commands above.) plain.svg is a plain circle, ff.svg is a circle with FF (for firefox) inside, l.svg is a circle with L
 +
 
 +
inside. ff.svg and l.svg can easily be edited for any two or one character(s). Open the file in any text editor. Each letter is in plain text just before the </tspan> tags,
 +
 
 +
replace them and save the file.
 +
 
 +
Enter the following commands, to log in as root and execute the sug script.  >(SEE NOTE AT TOP OF PAGE and edit script for your version of sugar)<
 +
 
 +
su
 +
./sug
 +
 
 +
You'll be prompted for an activity name. Enter a short, descriptive name with no spaces or punctuation, such as BibleTime or Firefox.
 +
 
 +
You'll be prompted for an icon file to copy into the new task. You can enter the full path and filename of any .svg file. If the icon is in the same directory as the sug file,
 +
you can enter just the filename.
 +
 
 +
You'll be prompted for the command to start the program. This is the command you entered from Terminal to start the program, such as firefox.
 +
 
 +
You'll be prompted for an organization path, such as org.mozilla If you don't know what this is, just enter org.x
 +
 
 +
(If at any of the prompts you want to quit the script, just enter nothing at the prompt.)
 +
 
 +
The script will give you a success message. Reboot sugar to see the new task in the sugar taskbar."

--- Comment #4 from Jeremy Katz <katzj@redhat.com> 2009-02-04 09:15:40 EDT --- The problem is that the overlay fills up and that there is then nothing that can really be done. Fedora 10 adds the 'reset_overlay' option that you can pass on the kernel command line which helps to recover, but ultimately, we need something better than dm-snapshot to use for the overlay
