| − | == Instructions for creating a Sugar-on-a-Stick USB key from Windows ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''1. Download''' the latest liveusb-creator on the [http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ Fedora LiveUSB Creator page]. It is a cross-platform tool for easily installing live operating systems on to USB flash drives.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''2. Download''' [{{SoaS-2 path}} the Sugar on a Stick iso image] to your desktop.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''3. Insert''' a USB memory stick into a USB port on your computer.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''4. Double-click''' on the liveusb-creator.exe file to open the program.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''5.''' Use "Browse" to '''select''' the Sugar on a Stick .iso file you downloaded to your desktop.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''6. Set''' the Target Device to your USB stick.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''7.''' Move the slider to '''set some persistent storage''' so that you can use the Journal. (Hint: Set it high, then it will tell you how much space there is, and you can adjust it to the right point. How much persistent memory you set will depend on the size of the .iso and the size of your USB.) '''Note:''' persistent storage will save Journal items between reboots, but not after a Sugar system update with the LiveUSB Creator (in its current version). Watch this page for instructions to making your Journal persist between system updates.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''8. Click''' "Create Live USB". It will take a few minutes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''9.''' When it is finished, '''be sure''' to properly eject the USB device using the System Tray icon. Failure to do this can render your stick unbootable.

| |
| − | == Booting from your USB Key ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Once you have created your USB key, you need to tell your computer to ''boot from USB''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You do this from the BIOS. This is slightly different on each computer: Explore the setup screen for your computer (usually by pressing Esc or F1 while the computer is booting). If you cannot figure it out, search Google for information on your computer's BIOS.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you are unable to boot from USB, you can burn a ''Boot Helper'' CD using [http://people.sugarlabs.org/garycmartin/boot.iso boot.iso]. This will start the boot from the CD and then read files from the USB.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can also use the ''PLoP Boot Manager'' to create a boot floppy for machines without the ability to boot from CD or USB, see [http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/No_native_BIOS_support No native BIOS support].
