→Cautions with using Live USB's
* If you use a 1GB USB, do not (i) install large updates or activities or (ii) download large files. The 300MB overlay will quickly fill up (e.g., within an hour), and your USB will become corrupted (i.e., unbootable) without any warning. Also, check your Journal free space frequently.

*Use zyx-liveinstaller [http://wiki.sugalabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller ] for soas-v2-Blueberry or '''liveinst''' command for Fedora based USB's in terminal to make a non-live USB. It will require about 2x as large USB as they create a "real file system" as the file structure will not be compressed. These non-live USB installs are more robust in use.

* f13 based soas-v3 nightly composes (Mirrabelle) will not install with either livinst (Crashes with bug) or zyx-liveinstaller (no longer present on .iso) Hint: use dd script or liveusb-creator to create a USB
