{{Note/important|Important change in Fedora 24 SoaS|The ''livecd-iso-to-disk'' installation script is no longer packaged in the SoaS .iso file. With Fedora 24, if you want a Live USB with persistent storage, you must install the ''livecd-tools'' package to obtain the installation script and the SYSLINUX boot loader. Use this command to obtain the installer: {{Code|sudo dnf install livecd-tools}}}}

: The operating system will occupy ~670 MB, and the overlay and home size arguments, '''500''' and '''800''', were selected to fit in a 2 GB device.

On a 4 GB device, one might use '''1000''' and '''1600''' for the size arguments.
