1-) install fedora 11 then you get sugar 0.84.x ( use netinstall.cd) 
"customize now" (only the net install has sugar as a selection)
* select then deselect gnome desktop (this sets required packages)- be 
sure you have x included in your selections
* select sugar desktop
install

2-) I just built a strawberry USB and converted it to a compressed .img file
Requires a 4GB or larger USB
It has gedit, wget, liveusb-creator  and anaconda installed on it.
*su yum install gedit wget liveusb-creator anaconda

liveusb-creator is "sugarized" and shows up on the F3 screen of the 
booted sugar USB

:http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category_talk:Live_USB

You can download it here:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/strawberry-liveusb-creator.img.tar.gz

===============To duplicate onto 4GB =/>or USB=================
$ sudo dd if=strawberry-liveusb-creator.img of=/dev/sd(*) bs=4M

* be sure of device label VERY DANGEROUS if used with wrong address

==========To Copy or backup the current state of your usb==============
$ sudo dd if=/dev/sd(*) of=strawberry-liveusb-creator.img
[sudo] password for xxxx:
7831552+0 records in
7831552+0 records out
4009754624 bytes (4.0 GB) copied, 218.06 s, 18.4 MB/s

Notes:
========Use this USB to boot soas-1-strawberry======
sugarized liveusb-creator can be accessed from sugar f3 ring (icon: 
circle with L inside)
link: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category_talk:Live_USB
soas-strawberry.iso
link: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-1-strawberry.iso
Built in f12 liveusb-creator (from terminal liveusb-creator --reset-mbr) 
with full persistence file
This USB does not have  the capacity to download soas-1-strawberry.iso 
to itself you will fill up the USB.
Use a 2nd USB with the strawberry.iso

note:
Liveusb-creator does not see a CD here
TO find the strawberry.iso on the 2nd USB stick:
hit the CD button on liveusb-creator
select root
hit up arrow on top bar of window
select /media/<you usb label>/strawberry.iso
select

*makes a USB with 0.84.2 sugar

3-) Use "livinst" command (Anaconda) to install to a hard disk (or USB 
4-8GB needed)
* It is on the USB
