Line 2: Line 2:

== openSUSE Sugar-Desktop on a stick ==

−

* The openSUSE version is a ~~.raw~~ image that is burned to a stick by the dd command. ~~It creates a usb stick that boots sugar-desktop with 55 applications.~~

+

* The openSUSE version is a clicfs "dual mode" image that is burned to a stick by the dd command.

−

+

* If just dd is used, creates a CD image on a USB. (Useful for Netbooks with no CD Drive)

−

* ~~'''This~~ is a ~~persistent live~~ image on a ~~stick'''~~ (a ~~file system is created on the stick on first boot~~)

+

* fdisk can create a persistent 2nd partition (see below)

~~===Dual Mode .iso Files===~~

~~NOTE: Latest versions of opensuse-edu-sugar.iso files can be burned to USB with dd command. "They are dual mode"~~

~~The resulting USB/SD has not got persistence. It is equivalent to Booting from the CD~~

~~Example record:~~

*be sure /dev/sd(x) points to your USB (can destroy your Hard Disk if wrong) use Partition Manager to see proper label...

---------------Create Persistent Partition---------------------

+

# fdisk /dev/sd(x)

+

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 3824.

+

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

+

and could in certain setups cause problems with:

+

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

+

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

+

(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
