- 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.

-Alternatively, you can download via http:
+Let's simplify the base instructions and leave this sort of information on a troubleshooting page.
-* ''Sugar on a Stick v2'' snapshots are available for download at [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/?C=M;O=D http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/], latest test version, [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/soas06.iso soas06.iso] (updated 24 Nov 2009).
-===SoaS Installation on USB/SD===
-* 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/msg00436.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 ./soas06.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 (works with soas-v2-blueberry.iso)====
-An alternate method of creating a Live USB 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=soas-2-blueberry.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! **
