=== Use Cases===

This is a list of ways we'll support ~~Soas~~ installation and their status. '''TODO:''' replace with a flow chart!

This is a list of ways we're working to support SoaS installation and their status. '''TODO:''' replace with a flow chart.

'''Sugar:'''

~~# From a hard disk:~~

# On a Stick:

~~## Local booting with storage - ''implemented'' via various distros~~

## Mobile booting using USB boot support in BIOS - ''implemented''

~~## Local booting with external storage - ''unimplemented'', students would insert their SoaS stick and it would load their data off it and optionally update their stick's software to the latest image~~

# On a ~~stick~~:

## Mobile booting using USB ~~Boot~~ support in BIOS - ''implemented''

## Mobile booting using ISO helper CDs - ''implemented''

## Mobile emulation - ''unimplemented''

## Mobile virtualization or emulation - ''unimplemented''

## Combination of booting and emulation - ''unimplemented''

##~~#http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/~~VMware (~~VMPlayer~~ and Appliance on one ~~8GB~~ bootable stick, or a 4 GB ~~Boot~~ stick and a 4 GB stick with the Appliance) works but is complicated

##* [[VMware]] (VMware Player and Appliance on one 8-GB bootable stick, or a 4-GB boot stick and a 4-GB stick with the Appliance) works but is complicated. (Waiting for Fedora 11 to allow VMware Player installation; this workaround uses Ubuntu 9.04 boot stick with VMPlayer.)

Waiting for Fedora 11 to allow ~~VMPlayer~~ installation, this ~~work around~~ uses Ubuntu 9.04 boot stick with VMPlayer

# On a fixed hard disk:

## Local booting with storage - ''implemented'' via various distros.

## Local booting with external storage - ''unimplemented'', students would insert their SoaS stick and the fixed system would operate off their transportable data, and optionally, update their stick's software to the latest image.

===~~= Install~~ Methods ====

=== Installation Methods ===

# Windows/Mac/Linux

## ~~LiveUSB~~ creator script - ''implemented''

## Live USB creator script - ''implemented''

# Windows

## [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/soas-emu SoaS-emu] - installer for a ~~soas~~ appliance on the local machine - ''work in progress''

## [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/soas-emu SoaS-emu] - installer for a SoaS appliance on the local machine - ''work in progress''

## MokaFive portable player installer - ''investigating''

# Other

# Virtualization environments

## ~~LiveCD~~ which creates USB sticks - ''~~idea~~''

## Boot a SoaS image on a USB device in [[VirtualBox]]. See this [http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg00259.html discussion thread].

## Live CD which boots a Mac OS X version of VirtualBox and uses a SoaS USB device as the guest OS. See this [http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg00312.html discussion thread].

## Live CD which boots to live user and autostarts VMware Player (installed in CD SquashFS). Then students can sequentially insert their USB Stick and work on same PC - "idea" [satellit 07/05/2009]

# Other variations

## Live CD which creates USB sticks - ''works in SoaS Strawberry''

### Insert the target USB storage device into your computer,

### Boot from a CD-ROM burnt with the soas-strawberry.iso image,

### Launch Terminal,

### Switch to the root user, <code>su -l</code>

### Unmount the USB device, <code>umount /dev/sdb1</code>

### Install the live image to the USB device by executing the following, <u>single</u> command with arguments:<br><code>/mnt/live/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk --noverify --overlay-size-mb 300 --home-size-mb 160 --unencrypted-home --delete-home /dev/sr0 /dev/sdb1</code>

###:'''Note:''' If you have more than 1 hard disc or USB device, you should verify the name of the USB storage device by reviewing the output of the <code>mount</code> command before step 5 above.

## zyx-liveinstaller (in Terminal) in SoaS v2 Blueberry can be used to make USB installations from the running live CD. - "works for v2 Bluberry, not yet working in Nightly Composes (v3, F13)"

## dd install to USB device with F12 dual mode .iso "works, but offers no persistence"

## liveinst command from terminal, install to USB - "works for v2 Bluberry, not yet working in Nightly Composes (v3, F13)"

## Prebuilt USB .img/vmx/vdi files to download [http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/] ext3 real install USB .img file [http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/soas-2-blueberry-direct-cleared-3GB.img.xz] [http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/soas-2-blueberry-direct-cleared-3GB.txt]

===Upgrade Paths===

# With a Journal full of learning, how does one upgrade to a new version of Sugar?

## Will Journals restored from a School Server work?

## Is a persistent home overlay usable?

## Is Home.img exchangeable from one device to another?
