Sugar on a Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

* note: this is *not* a method to create a SugarOnAStick (LiveUSB). Though you can install to an external usb drive/stick, resulting in an installation that very similarly boots your system to the Sugar UI. The difference is that the resulting system is not a 'Live' system. This means that it uses a normal filesystem, instead of a compressed read-only filesystem with a read-write snapshot/overlay above, as a 'LiveUSB' does.

* IMPORTANT WARNING: understand that this is a fairly new piece of open source software, that will overwrite entire partitions or disks ** as well as your bootloader ** during installation. In this release of SoaS, it is intended only for users that are familiar with the risks and possible complications of installing a Linux distribution to system disk.

* IMPORTANT WARNING: understand that this is a fairly new piece of open source software, that will overwrite entire partitions or disks ** as well as your bootloader ** during installation. In this release of SoaS, it is intended only for users that are familiar with the risks and possible complications of installing a Linux distribution to system disk. If you need a dual boot configuration, you will need to configure grub yourself (at least for the current version).

:* read and follow the simple wizard, choosing destination volumes/partitions for root, boot, and swap.

* This is a *destructive* install, meaning that the contents of the disks or partitions you choose will be overwritten entirely.

* During installation, you are free to use other activities.

* After installation completes, you may remove the LiveUSB or LiveCD, and continue using the newly installed system - ''without rebooting''!!!. This means that anything done with the system before, during, or after installation persists into the installed system.
