Install Testing

Preparing a stick for test

• This is the first Phase of testing:

sticks can be made using many methods:

USB-LC = fedora Liveusb-creator (Windows/Linux)

USB-Un = Unetbootin (Windows/Linux)

CD = Booted from CD (burn the .iso to a CD)

dd = dd write.img file to USB (Advanced method not used here)

USB-scr =./livecd-iso-to-disk

This is a test using the script livecd-iso-to-disk

• 1. Download to you desktop the weekly Nightly Compose of soas.spin :http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/test/

Download also to your desktop if you have not done so before http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh

• 2. In terminal change directory to your desktop:

1. cd /home/Desktop
2. enter the command:

mount

You should see the USBdevice name ie: /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd etc. Write it down

• THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT as if you enter this wrong you can DISTROY your HARD DISK Install. DO NOT USE /dev/sda EVER

HINT: copy the following commands to a text editor first. Then edit them and be certain that they are correct. Then copy-paste into the terminal.

1. enter the commands:
2. sudo su
3. ./livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 800 /home/xxx/Desktop/soas-i386-20100xxx.xx.iso /dev/sd(x)

(x)=this is your device name for the USB found above with mount command.

--overlay-size-mb 800 for 2 GB USB

--overlay-size-mb 1200 for 4 GB USB

USB is formatted fat16 ( overlay has to be >2000 for fat16 )

Example Write to USB:

::xxx@xxxxx:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for xxxx: 
root@xxxxxx:/home/xxxxx # cd Desktop
root@xxxxxx:/home/xxxx/Desktop# ./livecd-iso-to-disk  --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 1200 /home/xxxx/Desktop/soas-i386-20100xxx.xx.iso /dev/sd(x)
