* See [[../Goals]] for some specific deployment/distribution obstacles.
* See our [http://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/soas Feature blueprints] tracking system for feature development.
=== Use Cases===
This is a list of ways we're working to support SoaS installation and their status. '''TODO:''' replace with a flow chart.
'''Sugar:'''
# On a Stick:
## Mobile booting using USB boot support in BIOS - ''implemented''
## Mobile booting using ISO helper CDs - ''implemented''
## Mobile virtualization or emulation - ''unimplemented''
## Combination of booting and emulation - ''unimplemented''
##* [[VMware]] (VMware Player and Appliance on one 8-GB bootable stick, or a 4-GB boot stick and a 4-GB stick with the Appliance) works but is complicated. (Waiting for Fedora 11 to allow VMware Player installation; this workaround uses Ubuntu 9.04 boot stick with VMPlayer.)
# On a fixed hard disk:
## Local booting with storage - ''implemented'' via various distros.
## Local booting with external storage - ''unimplemented'', students would insert their SoaS stick and the fixed system would operate off their transportable data, and optionally, update their stick's software to the latest image.
=== Installation Methods ===
# Windows/Mac/Linux
## Live USB creator script - ''implemented''
# Windows
## [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/soas-emu SoaS-emu] - installer for a SoaS appliance on the local machine - ''work in progress''
## MokaFive portable player installer - ''investigating''
# Virtualization environments
## Boot a SoaS image on a USB device in [[VirtualBox]]. See this [http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg00259.html discussion thread].
## Live CD which boots a Mac OS X version of VirtualBox and uses a SoaS USB device as the guest OS. See this [http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg00312.html discussion thread].
## Live CD which boots to live user and autostarts VMware Player (installed in CD SquashFS). Then students can sequentially insert their USB Stick and work on same PC - "idea" [satellit 07/05/2009]
# Other variations
## Live CD which creates USB sticks - ''works in SoaS Strawberry''
### Insert the target USB storage device into your computer,
### Boot from a CD-ROM burnt with the soas-strawberry.iso image,
### Launch Terminal,
### Switch to the root user, <code>su -l</code>
### Unmount the USB device, <code>umount /dev/sdb1</code>
### Install the live image to the USB device by executing the following, <u>single</u> command with arguments:<br><code>/mnt/live/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk --noverify --overlay-size-mb 300 --home-size-mb 160 --unencrypted-home --delete-home /dev/sr0 /dev/sdb1</code>
###:'''Note:''' If you have more than 1 hard disc or USB device, you should verify the name of the USB storage device by reviewing the output of the <code>mount</code> command before step 5 above.
## zyx-liveinstaller (in Terminal) in SoaS v2 Blueberry can be used to make USB installations from the running live CD. - "works for v2 Bluberry, not yet working in Nightly Composes (v3, F13)"
## dd install to USB device with F12 dual mode .iso "works, but offers no persistence"
## liveinst command from terminal, install to USB - "works for v2 Bluberry, not yet working in Nightly Composes (v3, F13)"
## Prebuilt USB .img/vmx/vdi files to download [http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/] ext3 real install USB .img file [http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/soas-2-blueberry-direct-cleared-3GB.img.xz] [http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/soas-2-blueberry-direct-cleared-3GB.txt]
===Upgrade Paths===
# With a Journal full of learning, how does one upgrade to a new version of Sugar?
## Will Journals restored from a School Server work?
## Is a persistent home overlay usable?
## Is Home.img exchangeable from one device to another?
