* If you use a 1-GB device, do not (i) install large updates or activities or (ii) download large files. The 300-MB overlay will quickly fill up (e.g., within an hour), and your device will become corrupted (i.e., unbootable) without any warning. You may use the [[Sugar on a Stick/Sugar Clone|Sugar Cellar]] utility to monitor the usage of the persistent overlay. Also, check your Journal free space frequently.

* Use zyx-liveinstaller [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller]] for soas-v2-Blueberry or '''liveinst''' command for Fedora based installs in a terminal to make a non-live installation. It will require about 2x as large device as the file structure will not be compressed. These non-live installs are more robust in use but may have a shorter service lifetime (See [[olpc:How to Damage a FLASH Storage Device]].)

==='''8 GB USB with 2.4 GB 2nd partition*:fat16 MyFiles with Mirabell-remix CD'''===
* Used to transfer files to and from the journal and PC Desktop
: This creates a 8 GB USB which becomes an '''INSTALLER USB'''
:: '''stable ext4 Non-live File structure'''
:: It will use either liveusb-creator from the command line to make non-persistent USB's or script to create persistent ones.
:: A ONE Stick Installer that contains room for up to to 3 Soas.iso files on its Visible fat16 2.4 GB 2nd Partition

====Make installer USB from running CD====
:zyx-liveinstaller must be upgraded to work. (bug)
:Burn CD from .iso
:Boot from CD
:Update to 0.88.1 and zyx-liveinstaller to 0.2.4-1.fc13
sugar-terminal
su
yum update sugar*
yum install zyx-liveinstaller
=====Alternate=====
*If using the SugarCreationKit DVD
: rpm of zyx-liveinstaller is on DVD
rpm -Uvh zyx-liveinstaller0.2.4.1.noarch.rpm
: Download directly
* http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/zyx-liveinstaller-0.2.4-1.noarch.rpm
=====Use zyx-liveinstaller to make USB=====
:Partitioner 8GB USB (TOSHIBA_TransMemory)
/dev/sdb1/boot ext4 200
/dex/sdb3/ ext4 5000
/dev/sdb2 fat 16 MyFiles 2.41
no swap
:exit partitioner (hit X on top right corner)
:right arrow in bottom right of zyx
::root choose /dev/sdb2
::boot choose /dev/sdb1
:: no swap
:Right arrow
::Installation in progress
::Installation complete.....
:Shut down Booted Soas (CD)
*'''wait for delayed writes to USB target (2 min)'''
*Place into PC usb slot
*Drag drop xxx.iso to MyFiles on Desktop
*Drag livecd-iso-to disk script to MyFiles
*remove USB
*OR
wget http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
====Make a Soas-v2-Blueberry Installer USB (with liveusb-creator installed)====
=====USING 8 GB Installer USB=====
======1-) liveusb-creator======
*Boot from new USB
Terminal
liveusb-creator
select MyFiles and xxx.iso
insert target USB
set persistence ( slider will not move?)
Create Live USB
* shut down installer USB
*'''wait for delayed writes to USB target (2 min)'''
*Boot from new USB
:NO Persistence why?
======2-) Use livecd-iso-to-disk to write 2 GB USB=======
cd /media/Myfiles
cp livecd-iso-to-disk /
'''[root@localhost /]# ./livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 600 /media/Myfiles/Soas-v3-Mirabelle.iso /dev/sdc1'''
