## MokaFive portable player installer - ''investigating''

## LiveCD which creates USB sticks - ''~~idea~~''

## LiveCD which creates USB sticks - ''works in SoaS Strawberry''

### Insert the target USB storage device into your computer,

### Boot from a CD-ROM burnt with the soas-strawberry.iso image,

### Launch Terminal,

### Switch to the root user, <code>su -l</code>

### Unmount the USB device, <code>umount /dev/sdb1</code>

### Install the live image to the USB device by executing the following, <u>single</u> command with arguments:<br><code>/mnt/live/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk --noverify --overlay-size-mb 300 --home-size-mb 160 --unencrypted-home --delete-home /dev/sr0 /dev/sdb1</code>

###:'''Note:''' If you have more than 1 hard disc or USB device, you should verify the name of the USB storage device by reviewing the output of the <code>mount</code> command before step 5 above.

##LiveCD which boots to live user and autostarts VMPlayer (installed in CD sqfs) then Students can sequentially insert their USB Stick and work on same PC - "idea" [satellit 07/05/2009]
