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. | |||

*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. | |||
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). | 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). | ||

* 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).

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 | |||
