ZyX-LiveInstaller allows you to install Sugar when it is already running from either a LiveUSB device or LiveCD media to a system or external disk. This results in what is considered a traditional operating system installation on disk (or USB-Stick/SD-Card).
ZyX-LiveInstaller allows you to install Sugar from either a LiveUSB device or LiveCD media to a system or external disk, in order to create a traditional operating system installation on disk (or removable media such as SD or USB storage devices).
'''Note:''' this is ''not'' a method to create a Sugar-on-a-Stick (LiveUSB). Although you can install to an external USB drive/stick, resulting in an installation that similarly boots your system to the Sugar UI. The difference is that the resulting system is not a 'Live' system; it uses a normal filesystem instead of a compressed read-only filesystem and a read-write overlay.

'''IMPORTANT WARNING:''' This software will overwrite entire partitions or disks -- ''as well as your bootloader'' -- during installation. It is ''currently'' intended only for users that are familiar with the risks and possible complications of installing a GNU/Linux distribution to system disk. If you need a dual-boot configuration, you will need to configure <code>grub</code> yourself.
