* Use this script file to create a bootable image, http://bit.ly/livecd-iso-to-disk.
  −
:(Run {{Code|chmod +x livecd-iso-to-disk.sh}} after you download the script to make it executable.)
  −
* The .iso file may be burnt to a CD-ROM and booted on your PC (or mounted in a virtual machine to boot it).
  −
  −
'''Note:'''
  −
To install the .iso disc image, execute the shell script as the root user in <u>one</u> command with arguments as follows:
  −
  −
{{Code|./livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 200 --home-size-mb 200 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /path/to/source.iso /dev/sd'''?'''1}}
  −
  −
: where '{{Code|'''?'''}}' in the final parameter represents the target bootable device node, such as {{Code|sdb1}} or {{Code|sdc1}}, etc.
  −
  −
:* ''Be certain of your USB/SD '''s'''torage '''d'''evice node name (such as sda, sdb, etc.) and partition (such as 1, 2, etc.), yielding, for example,'' {{Code|/dev/sdb1}}. ''Use the mount command or the partition manager to confirm it before executing the script.''
  −
<!-- let simplify the base instructions and leave this sort of information on a troubleshooting page.
  −
:* <code>--format --reset-mbr</code> are optional arguments for the shell script, but may be excluded to preserve the existing disc format and data.  See [[olpc:How to Damage a FLASH Storage Device]] for a discussion of why you might want to try to keep your factory format on a flash storage device.
  −
:*: [[Talk:Downloads]] and [[LiveOS image]] have more information on this and other installation options.
  −
:* If you do use the format and reset master boot record arguments, you'll want to specify the target device name and not a partition, that is {{Code|/dev/sd'''?'''}} with no partition number, instead of {{Code|/dev/sd'''?'''1}} as in the example above used to specify an existing partition. ''As noted above, confirm your target disc device name&mdash;in this case, it is VERY DANGEROUS to your other discs if this is entered wrong, as the whole disc will be reformatted and a new master boot record written causing all previously written data on that disc to be lost.''  -->
