[SoaS] Toaster project FYI: making soas Bluebery usb with XO-1 running bernie's 140py software and liveusb-creator

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Grant;

I have a G1G1 XO-1:

If you run bernie's 140py software:
You need security key and MUST disable security before install.
http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os140py.img
(f11 Gnome plus sugar)
switch into gnome and
in terminal:

yum install live-usb-creator

you can make a soas live usb with this program called from the terminal
needed:
1-)target 2 GB usb fat 16 boot flag set
2-2nd 2 GB USB with soas.iso source: (I used)
http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso

It is slow but it makes a USB which will boot the XO-1 into Blueberry If 
the USB is in the slot on when powered on.
(It seems to have specific XO-1 boot settings.)

(I have not been able to enable persistence yet.)

IT WORKS !
