* 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.
