: This is an example of a dd writable SoaS-v2.img file which produces a fully functional Conventional install on a USB. This is equivalent to a liveinst install to USB.
::It was first suggested by bernie in early 2010 as a better alternative to the currently used live USB SoaS file systems with their fragile and limited sized overlay,
*This functionality is expected to be included in fedora 17.
*This can also be realized by entering [[Sugar_Creation_Kit#F16_Sugar_Install_from_a_Booted_Live_CD_with_liveinst|"liveinst"]] in root sugar terminal.
:This is the ''Anaconda'' installer for live file systems which installs to the USB with a normal install.
:Approximately 2 times as large a USB-stick is required (4GB minimum) as a compressed file system and an overlay are not used.
 
=====Notes on Live File Systems=====
: [[LiveOS image]]
:This page shares some information about the LiveOS design that helps [[Sugar on a Stick]] Learners make better use of their disc resources.
 
*Clarify writing ISO to USB

:https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/134
*Technical Discussion of Live USB's:  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Data_Persistence
::Limited Lifetime of Persistent Overlay
One very important note about using the "primary" persistent overlay for system changes is that due to the way it's currently implemented (as a LVM copy-on-write snapshot),
every single change to it (writes AND deletes) subtracts from its free space, so it will eventually be "used up" and your USB stick will no longer boot.
Because of these limitations, it is advisable to use the system-level persistence sparingly, for configuration changes and important security updates only.
For a truly persistent write-many (vs write-once) overlay, use the --home-size-mb option to create a home directory filesystem image for personal files.
Unlike the primary system overlay image, the home.img can be re-used and loop mounted outside of the liveusb environment.
 
=====Cautions with u3 USB sticks=====
*'''USB sticks with u3 partition will not boot with liveusb-creator'''
* '''CAUTION:''' Formatting the USB-stick will not remove the hidden (virtual CD-ROM drive)
* How to remove hidden u3 partition
:Linux: http://u3-tool.sourceforge.net/
:Windoz: Insert u3 Stick then click on tray icon for u3; select delete u3 partition, once it is deleted the USB-stick will work with liveusb-creator
