* Option #2 creates a more-robust, more-stable drive whose free space can be monitored using the Terminal activity.  Non-compressed SoaS drives, however, are not bootable with a boot helper CD.

If your machine doesn't support booting from USB devices, then download the [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-boot.iso soas-2-boot.iso] and burn it to a CD. [http://www.imgburn.com/ ImgBurn] is a free Windows application to do so, in case your current computer does not come with such a software.

You do this by interrupting the Helper CD boot by hitting the Esc key once the initial splash-screen appears. You should see a list of four boot options. At this point, hit the Tab key. The command line should appear. Add selinix=0 to the end of the line and hit Return (or Enter). The boot should proceed from here as normal.

=== For Mac OS X Users ===

template does not allow enough separation between disparate sections. Try using wiki sections with the ===section_title=== wikiformat.  See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Wiki_Team/Guide/Formatting. If that is not sufficient, a skin change would be required to avoid the newline and <br> workarounds.  Please post a screenshot of your issue. We are planning skin changes (see [[Wiki_Team/Roadmap/Wiki_skin_redesign]]). Comments are usually left on the Discussion/Talk pages for greater visibility and ease of linking. Changes to either page trigger watchlist notifications. Thanks again for your edits!
