There are four main options for OLPC XO users:

# Run v0.84 Sugar on a Stick from a USB flash drive or SD card

# Install v0.84 Sugar on a Stick on the XO-1's internal NAND flash memory

# Install v0.84 Sugar on a Stick-XO on the XO-1's internal NAND flash memory

# Convert a v0.84 Sugar on a Stick .iso image to one suitable to install on the XO-1's internal NAND flash memory

# Use <tt>olpc-update</tt> to update to the latest software release from OLPC (which is currently 8.2.0 incorporating Sugar v0.82).

'''Note:''' The OLPC XO-1 has some built-in protections which lock the computer down in order to prevent haphazard software changes. In order to use either [[#Option 1: Run v0.84 of Sugar on a Stick from an SD card or external USB|Option 1]] or [[#Option 2: Install the v0.84 Sugar on a Stick image|Option 2]], XO-1 owners must [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys request a developer key from OLPC]; it's a simple process but takes up to 24 hours.

Where <code>/dev/sdX1</code> is the device associated with your removable media. The livecd-iso-to-disk script needs to be a current version with XO support (not what you get by default in Fedora 10). You can find an up-to date version in the SoaS disk image /LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk.

===Option 2: Install a v0.84 SoaS-XO image on the XO-1 NAND flash drive===

See http://www.mail-archive.com/sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg05231.html and https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/2009-June/msg00063.html

===Option 2: ~~Install the~~ v0.84 Sugar on a Stick image===

===Option 3: Convert a v0.84 Sugar on a Stick .iso image===

'''Note''': Requires a [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys developer key for your OLPC-XO-1] and access to a GNU/Linux computer) It also requires a recent OFW version (Q2E28 has been reported as working.
