Talk:Sugar on a Stick/Raspberry Pi (view source)
Revision as of 23:57, 13 July 2017
, 23:57, 13 July 2017→Is this a LiveOS image?
:No, and do nothing. LiveOS isn't really an appropriate context, because Raspberry Pi has no internal storage to begin with, and doesn't boot from USB like a PC can. By writing the Fedora SoaS Raspberry Pi image to a microSD card and inserting it, loading and installation is complete. My understanding from discussions with Thomas on IRC is that he only had to update the wireless firmware once after inserting the card, and that Sugar did not prompt again for colour and age on reboot. Hopefully he'll confirm that. --[[User:Quozl|Quozl]] ([[User talk:Quozl|talk]]) 00:25, 14 July 2017 (EDT).

:More on the image composition. Image has four partitions. A FAT boot partition for the Raspberry Pi firmware (32MB). An ext4 boot partition (512MB). A swap partition (512MB). A root filesystem (3.3 GB). On first boot the root partition and filesystem is resized to fit the media. This info is from IRC discussions with Rishabh, and a brief forensic examination. --[[User:Quozl|Quozl]] ([[User talk:Quozl|talk]]) 00:57, 14 July 2017 (EDT)
