Go to: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Soas_V4/ASLOxo_Activity_Test_Table

Install Testing

Preparing a stick for test

  • This is the first Phase of testing:
sticks can be made using many methods:
USB-LC = fedora Liveusb-creator (Windows/Linux)
USB-Un = Unetbootin (Windows/Linux)
CD = Booted from CD (burn the .iso to a CD)
dd = dd write.img file to USB (Advanced method not used here)

USB-scr =./livecd-iso-to-disk

This is a test using the script livecd-iso-to-disk

Download also to your desktop if you have not done so before http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
  • 2. In terminal change directory to your desktop:
  1. cd /home/Desktop
  2. enter the command:
mount
You should see the USBdevice name ie: /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd etc. Write it down
  • THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT as if you enter this wrong you can DISTROY your HARD DISK Install. DO NOT USE /dev/sda EVER
HINT: copy the following commands to a text editor first. Then edit them and be certain that they are correct. Then copy-paste into the terminal.
  1. enter the commands:
  2. sudo su
  3. ./livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 800 /home/xxx/Desktop/soas-i386-20100xxx.xx.iso /dev/sd(x)
(x)=this is your device name for the USB found above with mount command.
--overlay-size-mb 800 for 2 GB USB
--overlay-size-mb 1200 for 4 GB USB
USB is formatted fat16 ( overlay has to be >2000 for fat16 )
Example Write to USB:
::xxx@xxxxx:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for xxxx: 
root@xxxxxx:/home/xxxxx # cd Desktop
root@xxxxxx:/home/xxxx/Desktop# ./livecd-iso-to-disk  --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 1200 /home/xxxx/Desktop/soas-i386-20100xxx.xx.iso /dev/sd(x)
