* Run it as root, making sure to pass the correct USB device and to set overlay and home size appropriately, depending on the stick size.

==Persistent home directory==
See [[LiveOS image]] for a discussion of storage options with the LiveOS images.
A bug somewhere in Fedora 12/Soas Blueberry prevents booting with a persistent home directory. You need to leave out the options for a separate persistent home in SoaS Blueberry installations.
*download the script:[http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh]
*Use this script in Terminal for soas-v2-Blueberry.iso: (/dev/sd(x)1 is your USB device) use partition manager to determine what it is.
{{Code|sudo ./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --overlay-size-mb 400 soas-2-blueberry.iso /dev/sd(x)1}}
==Sample install to USB/SD stick==
# ./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --overlay-size-mb 400 --delete-home ./soas-2-blueberry.iso /dev/sd(x)1

NOTE:
*The older version of the script, shown below, will complete successfully, but the new installation startup process will have trouble finding the home folder and fail to complete.

Normally,the livecd-iso-to-disk installation has the advantage over the liveusb-creator installation method by allowing a persistent /home/liveuser folder with the --home-size-mb NNN option.
This feature would allow you to update the OS image while keeping the user files (by running the script against your existing installation but leaving out the --home-size-mb NNN option).
* Run it as root, making sure to pass the correct USB device and to set overlay and home size appropriately, depending on the stick size.
{{Code|sudo ./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --overlay-size-mb 300 --home-size-mb 160 --delete-home --unencrypted-home soas-strawberry.iso /dev/sd(x)1}}
* The --delete-home option is used to avoid an error message while requesting both a new home (with --home-size-mb) and a persistent home (indirectly with --unencrypted-home). You wouldn't use the --delete-home option on an upgrade of the operation system only.

Depending on the size of your USB stick, you may have to decrease --overlay-size-mb and --home-size-mb values (for example, for a 1-GB stick, use 200 for each).

* If you get an error about udevinfo, you have the new version of udev where "udevadm info" is the proper command.
* Watch out for errors in the output of the script, the script seems to ignore them! (and say all is fine on the last line).

lisfolks posted a new comment:
So, I didn't have to make any changes to the image on the USB. This is
what I do to make it work:
# Restart my MacBook Pro with the Blueberry imaged USB and the Boot Helper CD in place.
# Hold the 'C' key from the time the screen becomes black on the restart until the CD's boot screen comes up.
# At the boot screen, press Tab key to enter into the boot/kernel parameters screen.
*This screen shows default values as follow:
vmlinuz0 initrd=initrd0.img root=LABEL=FEDORA rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=LABEL=FEDORA quiet rhgb
*(note that there are actually two spaces between quiet and rhgb)
#Using the arrow keys, move the cursor to the end of 'root=LABEL=FEDORA', backspace out the 'FEDORA', and replace it with 'soas-2-blueberry' (without the quotes, of course).
# Arrow to the end of 'rootfstype=vfat', then press backspace to remove the 'vfat' portion. Replace it with 'iso9660' (again, without the quotes).
# Arrow to the end of the command line (one space after the 'rhgb' parameter). Add 'selinux=0' (that's a zero, and again, leave out the quotes).'
# Hit return and (hopefully) boot USB into sugar
