==LiveOS image==
Below are instructions for preparing a VirtualBox disk image from a SoaS iso image file. The process parallels the compressed [[LiveOS image]] used on Live CD and Live USB installations.
* (Taken from Dave Bauer's posting at http://schools.sugarlabs.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=27.)
* Updated 16 August 2010 with [http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads VirtualBox 3.2.8] and 32-bit Fedora.
('''Note:''' The SoaS .iso distribution also contains an installer for full, uncompressed, hard disc images of Fedora with the Sugar graphical interface. See [[#Uncompressed, hard disc image|Uncompressed, hard disc image]] below for instructions.)
===Installing SoaS .iso image===
# Create a new VM, choose a name, such as Mirabelle
==Installing SoaS iso image==
# Choose Linux for the Operating System and Version Fedora (use 64 bit, if available)
# Create a new VM, choose a name such a Mirabelle
# Choose Linux for the Operating System and Version Fedora (64 bit)
# Choose Base Memory Size: 256 MB to match an XO-1, 512 or 1024 MB to match an XO-1.5
# Choose Base Memory Size: 256 MB to match an XO-1, 512 or 1024 MB to match an XO-1.5

* the --overlay-size-mb NNN and --home-size-mb NNN options creates space for persistence of changes on the disk; otherwise, a liveOS disk is read-only. See [[LiveOS image]].
: <br>The following optional parameters seem to be incompatible with soas-1-strawberry and soas-2-blueberry released versions. (The script completes successfully, but the virtual machine startup process has trouble finding the home directory and fails to complete.)
* the --home-size-mb NNN option creates space for file storage in the /home/liveuser folder. (In the case where you you want to update the LiveOS image while keeping the user files, skip the new disk creation and parted steps, leave out the --home-size-mb NNN option at this step, and continue on.)
* the --unencrypted-home option prevents password protection and encryption on the /home/liveuser folder. This releaves the overhead on the compressed [[wikipedia:SquashFS|SquashFS]], and should be more robust to file system failures (outside of security).
* 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 (with --unencrypted-home). (You wouldn't use this option for the LiveOS upgrade case.)
