ZyX LiveInstaller under the same heading as hybrid mode usage, was entirely wrong and confusing. Now moved to its own page.

:* <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.''

====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! **
