+See [[LiveOS image]] for a discussion of storage options with the LiveOS images.
+A bug somewhere in Fedora 12/Soas Blueberry prevents booting with a persistent home directory. You need to leave out the options for a separate persistent home in SoaS Blueberry installations.

 *Use this script in Terminal for soas-v2-Blueberry.iso: (/dev/sd(x)1 is your USB device) use partition manager to determine what it is.

 *The older version of the script, shown below, will complete successfully, but the new installation startup process will have trouble finding the home folder and fail to complete.

-\Normally,the livecd-iso-to-disk installation has the advantage over the liveusb-creator installation method by allowing a persistent /home/liveuser folder with the --home-size-mb NNN option.
+Normally,the livecd-iso-to-disk installation has the advantage over the liveusb-creator installation method by allowing a persistent /home/liveuser folder with the --home-size-mb NNN option.
 This feature would allow you to update the OS image while keeping the user files (by running the script against your existing installation but leaving out the --home-size-mb NNN option).
 *  Run it as root, making sure to pass the correct USB device and to set overlay and home size appropriately, depending on the stick size.

 * The --delete-home option is used to avoid an error message while requesting both a new home (with --home-size-mb) and a persistent home (indirectly with --unencrypted-home). You wouldn't use the --delete-home option on an upgrade of the operation system only.

+Question #95622 on Sugar on a Stick changed:

+lisfolks posted a new comment:
+So, I didn't have to make any changes to the image on the USB.  This is
+what I do to make it work:
+# Restart my MacBook Pro with the Blueberry imaged USB and the Boot Helper CD in place.
+# Hold the 'C' key from the time the screen becomes black on the restart until the CD's boot screen comes up.
+# At the boot screen, press Tab key to enter into the boot/kernel parameters screen.
+*This screen shows default values as follow:
+ vmlinuz0 initrd=initrd0.img root=LABEL=FEDORA rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=LABEL=FEDORA quiet rhgb
+*(note that there are actually two spaces between quiet and rhgb)
+#Using the arrow keys, move the cursor to the end of 'root=LABEL=FEDORA', backspace out the 'FEDORA', and replace it with 'soas-2-blueberry' (without the quotes, of course).
+# Arrow to the end of 'rootfstype=vfat', then press backspace to remove the 'vfat' portion.  Replace it with 'iso9660' (again, without the quotes).
+# Arrow to the end of the command line (one space after the 'rhgb' parameter).  Add 'selinux=0' (that's a zero, and again, leave out the quotes).'
+# Hit return and (hopefully) boot USB into sugar
