=With the soas-2-blueberry.iso, leave out the options for a separate persistent home:=

==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.

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.

* 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).

- Hold the 'C' key from the time the screen becomes black on the restart until the CD's boot screen comes up.

# 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:

# At the boot screen, press Tab key to enter into the boot/kernel parameters screen.

vmlinuz0 initrd=initrd0.img root=LABEL=FEDORA rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=LABEL=FEDORA quiet rhgb

*This screen shows default values as follow:

(note that there are actually two spaces between quiet and rhgb)

vmlinuz0 initrd=initrd0.img root=LABEL=FEDORA rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=LABEL=FEDORA quiet 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).

#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 the command line (one space after the 'rhgb' parameter).  Add 'selinux=0' (that's a zero, and again, leave out the quotes).'
