SoaS Blueberry Instructions: Difference between revisions

Line 136:

*image-writer-mac and BootHelperCD are not compatible:

** BootHelperCD can only boot sticks named FEDORA

** BootHelperCD can only boot sticks named FEDORA.

** Image-writer gives the USB stick the name of blueberry-2-soas

** Image-writer gives the USB stick the name of blueberry-2-soas.

** USB stick is created as read only. So the name is not easily changed by mere mortals.

This is a showstopper.<br>You cannot boot without hacking the USB stick name.<br>Use a windows machine to create Sugar on a Stick, named FEDORA, with persistent overlay.

Line 143:

*Sugar on a Stick is READ-ONLY

**Nothing is saved between reboots. Sugar asks for your name and colors each boot.

**~~imge~~-writer-mac does not create a persistent overlay file.

**image-writer-mac does not create a persistent overlay file.

There is no way to create a persistent overlay on Mac without hacking the USB stick.<br>Use a windows machine to create Sugar on a Stick, named FEDORA, with persistent overlay.

*BootHelperCD cannot boot Mac without typing secret code into difficult to read window:

** interrupt the countdown boot sequence by pressing F4

** interrupt the countdown boot sequence by pressing F4. Unless you're on that other screen, where you press TAB key.

** append selinux=0 to the kernel's list of boot parameters

** append selinux=0 to the kernel's list of boot parameters.

** press return or enter to continue the boot process

** press return or enter to continue the boot process.

Submit bugs and gripe at developers until they create a boot helperCD that boots without selinux=0<br>We'd prefer something more legible than white text on white background.
