| − | ====Use Fedora Live USB Creator====
| + | Sugar on a Stick (aka SOAS) is the USB implementation of Sugar for its portability and efficiency. There are many methods to create a SOAS. The downloaded sugar .iso from [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads]] is then flashed (a bootable copying process) to a USB. For people who like GUI, there are Fedora Media Writer (Linux/Windows), UNetBootin (Linux, Mac, Windows), Rufus (Windows), etc. For command line interfaces, see ''livecd-iso-to-disk'' on [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation]] |
| − | The page [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation]] describes a number of methods of installing Sugar on a Stick. Here we walk through a simple [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface Graphical User Interface] (GUI) method, suitable for use with a Windows computer. (Fedora Live USB Creator also works on any Fedora system.) | |
| | | | |
| − | Have a look at the Fedora program you will use: https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Follow the instructions on [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation]] under the heading
| |
| − | :'''2. Use Fedora Live USB Creator'''
| |
| − | On completion you will shutdown your PC. Restart the PC with the newly written USB stick in a USB port. See [[Sugar on a Stick/Boot]] for extra information.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This method is covered in this screenshot tutorial: [[Tutorials/Installation/Create a SoaS v7 Live USB in Windows]] and in this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieIj4aECk88 video] of an earlier version of this process.

| − | ==== livecd-iso-to-disk ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is the first method described on the page [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation#with Microsoft Windows]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is a robust method of making a Sugar on a Stick because you are making your LiveUSB from within Sugar, with a LiveCD you have already tested, and all tools are already on the CD.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You do not have to be a paid up member of the Windows community. If you are running a Linux distribution, the ''livecd-iso-to-disk'' tool will work from the CD, on any PC which will launch the LiveCD.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You may need to spend a bit of time to become familiar with the Sugar environment using your LiveCD, see [[Getting Started/Explore]]. You need to become familiar with the Terminal Activity and how to gain administrative permissions, that is become root. The Help Activity has a chapter on the Terminal.

| |
| − | For expert users, from a running LiveCD, Ctrl+Alt+F2 takes you to a console which could be used to run ''livecd-iso-to-disk''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To proceed with ''livecd-iso-to-disk'', full instructions are here, [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation#with Microsoft Windows]], in the method headed:
| |
| − | ::'''1. Burn a CD-ROM disc, boot from it, then run the script, ''livecd-iso-to-disk'''''

| |
| − | ====with UNetbootin====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is possible to install Sugar on a Stick with UNetbootin.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There is no persistent storage with this installation method. Software updates, Activities, and documents are not saved between boots, it is recommended mainly for a quick demo of the Sugar Learning Environment.
