===Installation to HD, USB Hardisk, and USB/SD===
==Real file systems==
1 zyx-liveinstaller <from terminal>[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller]
-creates real file structure on USB or HD (without rebooting)
-name and color selection (and ssh keys remain the same)
This can be a problem for using it for distribution
2 liveinst (Anaconda)<from Terminal> [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Linux/Non-compressed_Fedora#Use_liveinst_command_in_terminal]
-installs to HD or USB stick
-If you make an .img file from the USB before running "firstboot" It becomes a good way to duplicate the sticks.
3 Net install CD [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Linux/Non-compressed_Fedora#Make_your_OWN_Custom_SUGAR-DESKTOP_USB_Boot_Stick]
-need a fast Internet connection
-very slow install(6+ hrs for USB)
-allows custom install of sugar-desktop only or Gnome/KDE + Sugar
-If you make an .img file from the USB before running "firstboot" It becomes a good way to duplicate the sticks.
==compressed file systems on USB/SD==
1 script with .iso file [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:SoaS_Blueberry_Instructions#With_the_soas-2-blueberry.iso.2C_leave_out_the_options_for_a_separate_persistent_home:]

* Download the latest version of the Fedora LiveUSB Creator from http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator and extract it.
* Plug a blank target USB flash drive (or SD Card) into your computer (minimum 1-gigabyte).
* Launch LiveUSB Creator.
* Select Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry in the drop-down menu on the upper-right side to download the liveUSB disk image. Alternatively, download Blueberry here, then hit the Browse button and select the downloaded file.
