Here is an attached picture of G1G1 XO_1 making a Blueberry live usb
with liveusb-creator:<br>
left USB has .iso<br>
right USB is target<br>
( note it is a slow process as it takes about 50 minutes to complete)<br>
But the Gnome/sugar software is well thought out and works very well.<br>

<pre wrap="">I am excited about trying this. I manage a deployment of 140 XO-1's in a
school in Westchester County, New York and have really wanted to upgrade our
software from the official build.
How do I "disable security?"
Many thanks.

I just bought a G1G1 XO-1 on e-bay for testing.
* I requested and downloaded a developer key
* disabled security (very important!)
* installed f11-xo-1-py (fedora 11 gnome and sugar)
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os140py.img">http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os140py.img</a>

This is great software and expands the capabilities of the OLPC XO-1
that bernie has developed for the Paraguay deployment (english and spanish)
In the Gnome desktop terminal program on the XO-1:
su
yum install liveusb-creator
liveusb-creator runs using 2 USB sticks:
1-) Target USB 2GB or larger
2-) USB with Blueberry/strawberry.iso's (downloaded on another PC)
>DO NOT DOWNLOAD soas.iso's to the XO-1<
It has too small a working solid state HD to do this.
This is very similar to running a 3 stick solution on a EeePC900
The XO-1 is much slower (50min for Blueberry soas) than the EeePC900;
but it makes Soas Live USB's fine.
(Plus they boot on the XO-1, just leave them inserted and do a shutdown
and restart.)
I just did this with the soas-2-blueberry.iso and it boots on the XO-1
plus on the EeePC900.
(A EeePC900 livecd-iso-to-disk script created live usb will not boot on
the XO-1)
This could be a nice way to demonstrate sugar and the OLPC XO-1
while it makes and runs Soas Live USB's

YOU DO NOT NEED external CD to do this:
* Copy-paste the <Blueberry.iso>file from the SugarCreation Kit
CD onto an empty USB inserted in your MAC
* transfer the .iso to your EeePC900 by inserting that USB into the
EeePC900 and (drag - drop/copy-paste) the .iso to the XP Desktop.
* Install Liveusb-creator for Windows: (See attached .png file)
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/">https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/</a>
* Use Liveusb-creator for windows to make a soas USB with it.
* Do not do a Download again. use left select box (use existing live
CD/ Browse) to find the blueberry.iso on the XP Desktop
* Insert a new target USB (2GB fat16) into EeePC900 ad see it appear
in Target Device window
* move slider to set persistence storage (Max it )
*Create Live USB....: )
Very simple
You can repeat this process for as many USB sticks that you want.

note:
If you get a message in graphical window :"... reset mbr"
exit the running graphical liveusb-creator
and start windows terminal
enter "liveusb-creator --reset-mbr"
it will restart graphical liveusb-creator using this extra command.
I do plan to purchase an optical drive as well, so I could put the

</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">image on cd. I could probably pick one up tomorrow or Sunday at Fry's so I
would have it when the eeePC arrives Monday.

<pre wrap="">process, I could make a mini-version of Tom's Soas Creation Kit with just a
few files and hand it out at InfoTech. I would probably just include the
blueberry iso file, the boot-helper file, and maybe some instructions in a
text file. What else would be good to include on this "SoaS For Dummies"
disk? Remember KISS.
