- Note that with larger images one may need to adjust the overlay or home folder size in order to fit the installation onto a 1-GB USB device (for example, with soas-x86_64-20101004.16.iso (503 MB), --home-size-mb 190 was needed), otherwise, the filesystem will get corrupted during the creation of the home folder as the disc space is exhausted.

-===SoaS Installation on USB/SD===
+Let's simplify the base instructions and leave this sort of information on a troubleshooting page.
-* Use ONLY this script file to create a bootable image, http://bit.ly/livecd-iso-to-disk.
-:(Don't forget to <code>chmod +x tools_livecd-iso-to-disk.sh</code> after you download the script.)
-* The .iso file may be burnt to a CD-ROM and booted on your PC (or mounted in a virtual machine to boot it):
-'''Note:'''
-* See this [http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg00335.html announcement] for more information.
-* To install the .iso disc image, execute the shell script as the root user in <u>one</u> command with arguments as follows:
-<div style="border:1px dashed #2f6fab; padding:8px; margin:8px; background-color:#f9f9f9"><code>sudo ./tools_livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --overlay-size-mb 400 --delete-home --extra-kernel-args selinux=0 ./soas05.iso /dev/sd*1</code></div>
-:* (*) ''be sure of your USB/SD '''s'''torage '''d'''evice name (such as sda, sdb, etc.) and partition (such as 1, 2, etc.), yielding, for example,'' <code>/dev/sdb1</code>. ''Use the mount command or the partition manager to confirm it before executing the script.''
 :* <code>--format --reset-mbr</code> are optional arguments for the shell script, but may be excluded to preserve the existing disc format and data.  See [[olpc:How to Damage a FLASH Storage Device]] for a discussion of why you might want to try to keep your factory format on a flash storage device.
-:* If you do use the format and reset master boot record arguments, you'll want to specify the target device name and not a partition, that is <code>/dev/sd*</code> with no partition number, instead of <code>/dev/sd*1</code> as in the example above used to specify an existing partition. ''As noted above, confirm your target disc device name&mdash;in this case, it is VERY DANGEROUS to your other discs if this is entered wrong, as the whole disc will be reformatted and a new master boot record written causing all previously written data on that disc to be lost.''
+:*: [[Talk:Downloads]] and [[LiveOS image]] have more information on this and other installation options.
+:* If you do use the format and reset master boot record arguments, you'll want to specify the target device name and not a partition, that is {{Code|/dev/sd'''?'''}} with no partition number, instead of {{Code|/dev/sd'''?'''1}} as in the example above used to specify an existing partition. ''As noted above, confirm your target disc device name&mdash;in this case, it is VERY DANGEROUS to your other discs if this is entered wrong, as the whole disc will be reformatted and a new master boot record written causing all previously written data on that disc to be lost.''  -->
-====Alternate 'hybrid-mode' method using dd (not working at present)====
-An alternate method of creating a LiveUSB stick form of the .iso (a 'hybrid' image) to make a bootable USB/SD (NOT RECOMMENDED)
-*If you use dd command to write a USB or SD image, there will be no persistence. The SCRIPT method detailed above should be used.
-In Root Terminal:
-  dd if=soas04.iso of=/dev/sd(?) bs=4M
-* Be sure your USB/SD is /dev/sd? check with partition manager to be sure.
-CAUTION: ** You can destroy you Hard Disk if you enter it wrong! **
-====ZyX-LiveInstaller====
-* ZyX-LiveInstaller allows you to install SoaS when it is already running '''from''' either a LiveUSB device or LiveCD media '''to''' a system or external disk.  This results in what is considered a traditional operating system installation on disk (or USB-Stick/SD-Card).  This is unlike the above methods which create a Live Media (USB/SD) from the .iso file.
-* It is known to work best with the most recent snapshot build - soas04.iso.[http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/]
-* To use
-:* start the terminal activity, type in lowercase 'zyx-liveinstaller', then press enter.
-:* start the partitioner 'gparted' if necessary
-::* 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, you may use a seperate partition for the /boot filesystem
-::* optionally, you may select a seperate partition for swap space.  1-2GB is recommended and will allow the use of hibernation (suspend-to-disk)
-::* note: formatting in the partitioner is not required.
-::* exit the partitioner by hitting the X in the top corner of window.
-:* read and follow the simple wizard, choosing destination volumes/partitions for boot, root, and swap.  boot may be the same as root, and swap is optional.
-* This is a *destructive* install, meaning that the contents of the disks or partitions you choose will be overwritten entirely.
-* During installation, you are free to use other activities.
-* After installation completes, you may remove the LiveUSB or LiveCD, and continue using the newly installed system - ''without rebooting''!!!.  This means that anything done with the system before, during, or after installation persists into the installed system.
-* An example with details of install in a virtual machine[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/VMware#Soas04.iso_Install_using_zyx-liveinstaller]
