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.

*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.

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).

* 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.

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
 +
