===Soas stick that writes live USB's===
 +
this USB can make a new USB with liveusb-creator called from the terminal
 +
 
 +
How To Make Stick:
 +
 
 +
1-) In Gparted, (Partition Manager),format a Lexar Jumpdrive Firefly 4GB USB:
 +
/dev/sd(*)1 fat 16 Fedora  1.86 Gib boot
 +
/dev/sd(*)2 fat 16 My Files 1.86 Gib
 +
 
 +
(*)''' Be certain of your sticks device name''' ie: /dev/sdb,/dev/sdc....
 +
In terminal enter "mount" and you will see a list including your device.
 +
 
 +
2-) In terminal, install the soasxxx.iso to the first partition:
 +
 
 +
./livecd-iso-to-disk  --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 800 soas-xxx.iso /dev/sd(*)1
 +
 
 +
This leaves an empty 2nd Partition on the USB  labeled "My Files"
 +
 
 +
3-)remove and re-insert USB in PC (it will appear as 2 USB's on Desktop)
 +
 
 +
Paste a copy of soasxxx.iso from the PC into the 2nd Partition "My Files"
 +
 
 +
4-) Boot PC with USB stick.
 +
 
 +
5-)in root terminal:
 +
yum install liveusb-creator
 +
6-)to start program:
 +
in terminal:
 +
liveusb-creator
 +
 
 +
In the Graphical Program the soasxxx.iso is found in the "My Files" partition.
 +
This partition is seen on the frame in sugar and can store files for the user .
   −
'''DO this when running a live USB SOAS '''
+
Any other live.iso can be pasted into the 2nd "My Files" Partition which appears on a PC Desktop when it is inserted.
 +
(It has the capacity to hold up to 3)
    +
With this USB, you only need 2 USB's 1-)This Boot USB and 2-)Target to make new live USB copies.

--- Comment #4 from Jeremy Katz <katzj@redhat.com> 2009-02-04 09:15:40 EDT --- The problem is that the overlay fills up and that there is then nothing that can really be done. Fedora 10 adds the 'reset_overlay' option that you can pass on the kernel command line which helps to recover, but ultimately, we need something better than dm-snapshot to use for the overlay
