There are three ways to do this:


* '''1. Use Fedora Live USB Creator'''

(This installation method is not recommended for long-time usage of Sugar on a Stick. [[LiveOS image#Home filesystem|See why.]])
* '''1. Burn a CD-ROM disc, boot from it, then run the script, ''livecd-iso-to-disk'''''
*# Download the Live USB Creator from [http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ Fedora].  
*# Use [http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/2009/04/13/burn-iso-images-natively-in-windows-7.aspx Windows 7 built-in Disk Image Burner] or a free utility, like [http://www.imgburn.com/ ImgBurn], to write the downloaded Sugar on a Stick .iso file onto a blank CD.
*# Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with 2 GB or more of free space into your computer.
*# Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card<sup> [[#Notes|Notes]]</sup>) with 2 GB or more of free space into your computer.
*# [[Sugar on a Stick/Boot|Boot your computer]] with the CD-ROM disc.  You probably need to press F1, F10, F12, Esc, or a similar key as the computer starts up in order to set the boot source for your computer to the CD-ROM device.
*# A successful boot will take you into ''Sugar on a Stick''.  You can From there, open the Terminal Activity, [[File:Activity-terminal.png|bottom|link=http://en.flossmanuals.net/terminal]], from the <span class=plainlinks>[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/images/9/9b/Home_ListView_button.png Home list View]</span>.
*# Switch to run commands with 'root' user permissions by entering {{Code|su -}} on the command line.
*# Change the working directory, by entering {{Code|cd /run/initramfs/live/LiveOS}}
*# ''Verify the USB/SD '''s'''csi '''d'''rive node name (such as sda, sdb, etc.) and partition (such as 1, 2, etc.) for your USB/SD device.''  It would look like, for example, {{Code|/dev/sd'''b'''1}}.
*#* The {{Code|df -Th}} command shows your device filesystem on a device node, for example, /dev/sdb1, mounted on a directory [[wikipedia:Mount (computing)|mount point]], such as /run/media/liveuser/<USBdeviceManufacturer>

* '''2. Use Fedora Live USB Creator'''  
*: (This installation method is NOT recommended for LONG-TERM usage of Sugar on a Stick!!  Catastrophic data corruption may occur when the USB stick gets full!  [[fedora:LiveOS_image#Home_filesystem|See why.]])
*# Download the Live USB Creator from [http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ Fedora].
*# Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card<sup> [[#Notes|Notes]]</sup>) with 2 GB or more of free space into your computer.
*# Launch Live USB Creator.
*# Launch Live USB Creator.
*# Select the 'Browse' button to 'Use existing Live CD' and find the downloaded .iso file image on your system.  
*# Select Either
*# Adjust the Persistent Storage slider. This enables you to save changes to the system and additional Sugar Activities onto the device.
*# 1) the 'Browse' button to 'Use existing Live CD' and find the downloaded .iso file image on your system.  
*# Select your flash drive as the target, and click the '''Create Live USB''' button.
*# 2) Download Fedora and select  Fedora-SoaS-{i386|x86_64}-{22|23}  (This automates the download and checksum routine and directly  burns to the USB/ SDCard
*# Adjust the Persistent Storage slider. This enables you to save changes to the system and additional Sugar Activities onto the device. (aka persistence file or Overlay --this space  by default is write once  only)  --see below for  additional way to make /home a  rw overlay
*# Select your flash drive as the target, and click the '''Create Live USB''' button.  
*# With the latest version of Fedora LiveUSB Creator you have TWO (2) option for burning method
*# 1) CP (non destructive) -- meaning you can still use the unused space on a larger (8-16-32-64Gb) usb for whatever post burn.
*# 2) DD ( the old school way) Note:  THIS WILL destroy any previous data make sure you properly  select the drive to use AND make backups of any pre-existing important data (you will not be easily able to retrieve overwritten data)
*# Wait for the process to finish, then close the Live USB Creator program.
*# Wait for the process to finish, then close the Live USB Creator program.
