These are the steps for installing Sugar on a Stick on a USB/SD device.
This page is transcluded to various installation instruction pages.
- Download the latest Sugar on a Stick .iso file.
- Prepare: (with root user permissions at a terminal or console command line)
- Create a mount point directory:
mkdir /media/soas - Mount the .iso file as a disk:
mount /path/to/downloaded.iso /media/soas/- (Where /path/to/downloaded.iso is the filesystem path, or fully specified name, of the downloaded .iso file.)
- This is the source for the installation, and must remain mounted until the installation is complete.
- Insert a USB stick of 2 GB or greater capacity into your computer.
- Use the
blkidordf -Thcommand to get the USB device node name. - Unmount the USB device filesystem:
umount /run/media/MyAccount/MyUSBdiscMountPoint- (The
/run/media/MyAccount/path is the new, Fedora 17 standard mount point. Other operating systems may use/media/MyMountPoint.)
- (The
- (You should have the isomd5sum package installed so that the following installation script can verify the download.)
You should see something like the following:[root@MyComputer ~]# df -Th Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs rootfs 20G 5.5G 14G 29% / devtmpfs devtmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 1.6G 788K 1.6G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs tmpfs 1.6G 1.3M 1.6G 1% /run tmpfs tmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs tmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /media /dev/loop0 iso9660 509M 509M 0 100% /media/soas /dev/sdc1 vfat 995M 983M 13M 99% /run/media/MyAccount/LG
where the mount point and filesystem sizes should help you identify what you want. - Create a mount point directory:
- Load: Execute the following installation command, as the root user, in one command line with many arguments:/media/soas/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 500 --home-size-mb 900 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /path/to/downloaded.iso /dev/sd?1
- where '
?' in the final parameter represents the target USB device scsi drive node, such assdb1orsdc1, etc., and/path/to/downloaded.isois the location and name of the .iso file. - The operating system will occupy ~510 MB, and the overlay and home size arguments, 500 and 900, were selected to fit in a 2 GB device, but may be adjusted according to your device capacity.
The installation transcript should look something like the following:[LiveOS]$ sudo ./livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 500 --home-size-mb 900 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /media/soas/Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso /dev/sdc1 Verifying image... /media/soas/Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso: 470134baa7e48085595243e53b55d41e Fragment sums: 7de3e14f3d5aa991343fa35bdfe3a1db59d578db95a844a63d22de789de1 Fragment count: 20 Press [Esc] to abort check.
