* '''2. Use Fedora Live USB Creator'''
*: (This installation method is NOT recommended for LONG-TERM usage of Sugar on a Stick!! Catastrophic data corruption may occur when the USB stick gets full! [[fedora:LiveOS_image#Home_filesystem|See why.]])
*# Download the Live USB Creator from [http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ Fedora].
*# Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card<sup> [[#Notes|Notes]]</sup>) with 2 GB or more of free space into your computer.
*# Launch Live USB Creator.
*# Select Either
*# 1) the 'Browse' button to 'Use existing Live CD' and find the downloaded .iso file image on your system.
*# 2) Download Fedora and select Fedora-SoaS-{i386|x86_64}-{22|23} (This automates the download and checksum routine and directly burns to the USB/ SDCard
*# Adjust the Persistent Storage slider. This enables you to save changes to the system and additional Sugar Activities onto the device. (aka persistence file or Overlay --this space by default is write once only) --see below for additional way to make /home a rw overlay
*# Select your flash drive as the target, and click the '''Create Live USB''' button.
*# With the latest version of Fedora LiveUSB Creator you have TWO (2) option for burning method
*# 1) CP (non destructive) -- meaning you can still use the unused space on a larger (8-16-32-64Gb) usb for whatever post burn.
*# 2) DD ( the old school way) Note: THIS WILL destroy any previous data make sure you properly select the drive to use AND make backups of any pre-existing important data (you will not be easily able to retrieve overwritten data)
*# Wait for the process to finish, then close the Live USB Creator program.
*# Stop your flash drive with the '''Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media''' notification area icon dialog, and eject it.
