====Cautions with using Live USB's====

−

*Wait for delayed writes to the USB to finish (up to 15 sec) before pulling it out of PC. If writes do not complete you will corrupt it and it will not boot.

*If you do a yum update on a small USB you can overload the Persitent Overlay. [https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ticket/28]"Fedora 10 adds the 'reset_overlay' option that you can pass on the kernel command line which helps to recover."[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Category_talk:Live_USB&action=edit&redlink=1]

* Use a larger USB:(4GB or even 8GB), if you plan to do updates or install new programs.

−

*Use zyx-liveinstaller ~~for soas-v2-Blueberry~~[http://wiki.sugalabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller ]or liveinst ~~commands~~ 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.
