- 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.

-*# Select the 'Browse' button to 'Use existing Live CD' and find the downloaded .iso file image on your system.
-*# Adjust the Persistent Storage slider. This enables you to save changes to the system and additional Sugar Activities onto the device.
-*# Select your flash drive as the target, and click the '''Create Live USB''' button.
-*# Wait for the process to finish, then close the Live USB Creator program.
-*# Stop your flash drive using the '''Safely Remove Hardware''' dialog, and eject it.
