There are three ways to do this:

~~{{Anchor|Burn a CD-ROM}}~~

* '''1. Use Fedora Live USB Creator'''

* '''1. Burn a CD-ROM disc, then run the script, ''livecd-iso-to-disk'''''

(This installation method is not recommended if you intend to permanently store files with Sugar on a Stick.[[LiveOS image#Home filesystem|See why.]])

*# Use [http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/2009/04/13/burn-iso-images-natively-in-windows-7.aspx Windows 7 built-in Disk Image Burner] or a free utility, like [http://www.imgburn.com/ ImgBurn], to write the downloaded SoaS .iso file onto a blank CD.

*# Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with 2 GB or more of free space into your computer. (See [[LiveOS image]] and [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation/Variations#Cautions with using Live USB devices|Cautions with using Live USB devices]] regarding flash drive size and usage.)

*# Boot your computer with the CD-ROM disc. You probably need to press F1, F10, F12, Esc, or a similar key as the computer starts up in order to set the boot source for your computer to the CD-ROM device.

*# A successful boot will take you into ''Sugar on a Stick''. From there, open the Terminal Activity, [[File:Activity-terminal.png|bottom|link=http://en.flossmanuals.net/terminal]], from the Home view. {{Iframe|[http://en.flossmanuals.net/terminal ''See the Terminal Activity manual.''] |http://en.flossmanuals.net/terminal|945|400|1}}

*# Click the 'Become root' icon, [[File:Activity-become-root.svg|40px|bottom|link=http://en.flossmanuals.net/terminal]], to gain administrative permissions in the Terminal session.

*# Change the working directory to {{Code|/LiveOS/}} {{Code|cd /LiveOS/}}

*# ''Be certain of your USB/SD '''s'''csi '''d'''rive node name (such as sda, sdb, etc.) and partition (such as 1, 2, etc.), yielding, for example,'' {{Code|/dev/sdb1}}.

*#: Use the {{Code|df -Th}} command to confirm your devices before executing the following script.

*~~# execute the Linux command line: {{Code|./livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 300 --home-size-mb 175 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /dev/sr0 /dev/sd'''?~~'''1}}

*# Shutdown the physical machine.

*# Reboot from the newly-installed Live USB with SoaS.

* '''2. Use Fedora Live USB Creator'''

(This installation method is not recommended if you intend to permanently store files with Sugar on a Stick.[[LiveOS image#Home filesystem See why.]])

*# Download the Live USB Creator from [http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ Fedora].

*# Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with 2 GB or more of free space into your computer.

*# Attach the SoaS.iso file as a CD in the Storage Section

*# Insert a USB storage device into your physical computer and enable the VirtualBox USB controller. Then add a filter to recognize the inserted device in the USB section of the VirtualBox machine setup.
