=== Boot Helper ===
If your machine doesn't support booting from USB devices, then download the [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-boot.iso soas-2-boot.iso] and burn it to a CD. [http://www.imgburn.com/ ImgBurn] is a free Windows application to do so, in case your current computer does not come with such a software.
* Use the [[wikipedia:Windows Explorer|Windows Explorer]] to name your USB flash drive FEDORA (from the Properties dialog for your device), as otherwise, it won't be recognized by the boot-helper CD.
* Put both the boot-helper CD and the USB flash drive in your computer and let it boot from the CD.
If your boot hangs, you may need to modify the boot command by appending:
selinux=0
You do this by interrupting the Helper CD boot by hitting the Esc key once the initial splash-screen appears. You should see a list of four boot options. At this point, hit the Tab key. The command line should appear. Add selinix=0 to the end of the line and hit Return (or Enter). The boot should proceed from here as normal.
