'''IMPORTANT WARNING:''' This software 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.

To use the ZyX-LiveInstaller:
'''1-)Note: Use these instructions for f13 Mirabelle'''
# Boot your target computer with Sugar-on-a-Stick;
:'''Does not work prior to soas-i386-20100702.15.iso''' for f14 (rawhide )Soas Nightly Composes
:: for soas-i386-20100702.15.iso and later you need to use a device mapper lvm2 for root and swap and ext4 for boot
:::Use '''liveinst''' command to '''format and install''' the 8 GB USB (this installs but presently does not log on at the present time)
:::Then use '''zyx-liveinstaller''' to make the install on the same USB. (gparted will NOT do partitioning correctly)
:::: A Workaround-satellit 07/04/2010
'''Skip this step for f12 Blueberry'''
*In running SOAS root terminal
su
yum install zyx-liveinstaller gparted
'''2-)To use the ZyX-LiveInstaller:'''
# Boot your target computer with Soas-v3 Mirabelle [http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/#home]; SoaS-2-Blueberry [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso] or USB Sugar-on-a-Stick [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/Variations];

::*You will need at least a single partition for the root filesystem that is greater than 2GB. (Some disks labeled and sold as 2GB may not be quite large enough.)
::*Optionally create a separate partition for the /boot filesystem, at least 42MB in size
'''(For 4GB USB) In Partitioner:'''
::* Optionally create a separate partition for swap space, typically 1–2 times the size of the RAM in your system. This will allow the use of hibernation (suspend-to-disk, via pm-hibernate command run from root terminal shell).
# select all existing partitions with mouse: Hit Delete
# Edit/Apply All Operations
# select unallocated partition
# New Primary Partition: ext4 ; New Size 200 ; Label /boot
# New Primary Partition: ext4 ; New Size 3.57GB (Balance Available) ; Label /

# Exit Partitioner (hit X in top right corner of window)
