Use cases
This is a list of ways we'll support Soas installation and their stauts. TODO: replace with a flow chart.
Sugar:
- From a hard disk:
- Local booting with storage - Implemented via various distros
- Local booting with external storage - unimplemented, students would insert their SoaS stick and it would load their data off it and optionally update their stick's software to the latest image
- On a stick:
- Mobile booting using USB Boot support in BIOS - implemented
- Mobile booting using ISO helper CDs - implemented
- Mobile emulation - unimplemented
- Combination of booting and emulation - unimplemented
Install methods
- Windows/Mac/Linux
- LiveUSB creator script - implemented
- Windows
- SoaS-emu - installer for a soas appliance on the local machine - WiP
- MokaFive portable player installer - investigating
- Other
- LiveCD which creates USB sticks - idea
