SoaS Blueberry Instructions

For Windows Users

• Download the latest version of the Fedora LiveUSB Creator from http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator and extract it.
• Plug a target USB flash drive into your computer (minimum 1-gigabyte).
• Launch LiveUSB Creator.
• Select Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry in the drop-down menu on the upper-right side.
• Adjust the Persistent Storage slider. This enables you to save your work in Sugar onto the device.
• Select your flash drive as the target and click the Create Live USB button.
• Wait for the process to finish, then close the LiveUSB Creator program.
• Stop your flash drive using the Safely Remove Hardware dialog and eject it.

For GNU/Linux Users

Linux Users will use a slightly different approach than Windows Users to ensure maximum compatibility with different distributions. Please follow the instructions carefully to ensure your data is preserved.

• If you are a Fedora User, run the following command: yum install liveusb-creator
  • Launch LiveUSB the Creator and follow the instructions above.
• If you use any other distribution, download the image-writer tool from here and the live image from here.
  • Open a terminal and become root, either by using su or sudo.
  • Enter the following command: ./image-writer soas-2-blueberry.iso
  • WARNING: If you proceed here, your flash drive will be wiped!
  • The script will output a device name; confirm that it matches with your flash drive.
  • You will be notified once the process has finished.

For Mac OSX Users

The procedure for Mac OS/X users is similar to the one for Linux users. Mac users should be aware that they may be able to prepare their flash drive on a Mac, but depending on the generation of the hardware used, they may need to use another computer to test whether the prepared flash drive works.

• Download the Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry live image from here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso
• Open a terminal and run: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX (whereas X is the device number)
• Run: sudo dd if=./soas-2-blueberry.iso of=/dev/diskX bs=512 (Please pay attention when running the dd command, as it will wipe your flash drive!)
• Eject your flash drive by running: diskutil eject /dev/diskX
