This as, a byproduct, provides a method to Create a Installer USB containing liveusb-creator which will install different .iso files from a CD. This raises the possibility of including liveusb-creator on the next snapshot as an install method as it only sees USB Drives. I tested the download button on the right side of the graphical window. It took a 8GB SD to complete a download of the strawberry.iso to the journal (4GB stopped at 42%). However there was no way to see it in liveusb-creator. Thus the CD with the .iso file. That is seen fine in the select file button. This works.... Tom Gilliard satellit Another Method to Make Multiple Live USB's ===========Make Installer USB======================== 1_)use soas-2-blueberry CD to make 4GB or Better 8GB Live USB with liveusb-creator First boot from soas-2-blueberry CD In Terminal: "zyx-liveinstaller" -install to fat 16 or fat 32 USB -choose / and /boot as same /dev/sd(x)* Be sure it is your USB not your Hard Disk! *(hint in terminal: enter "gparted" and look at the available HD and USB and note name you want to use. Exit gparted) ============Use liveusb-creator to make new Live USB======== 2-)Boot from USB made with zyx-liveinstaller In terminal: -su - -root # -yum install liveusb-creator -(13 files 22MB will download) 3-) Insert CD containing soas xxxxx.iso  (note this is .iso not Burned CD from .iso) 4-) Insert 2nd USB stick to use to make LiveUSB (format: fat16, factory stock formatting) In terminal: "liveusb-creator" -select correct USB (usually 1 letter higher than your boot USB) -ie: if Booted USB is /dev/sda target USB will be /dev/sdb -select to find CD with .iso file -move slider to desired perisitence file size -start making USB exit from running USB and then boot New USB you just created! I used this method to install soas-3-20091228.iso on a stick .iso does not need to be the same version as are on Installer USB Sebastian Dziallas wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:4B3912F0.20604@when.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Sebastian Dziallas wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi everybody, by popular request, there's now a Sugar on a Stick snapshot with the latest Sugar development release available. Please note that this snapshot is already part of our way to Sugar on a Stick v3. It's still based on F12 for stability reasons, though (this will change in the development cycle). But it incorporates already a number of significant changes which are part of the change to the SoaS v3 builds. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Before somebody beats me to it: I'm aware that this build features a... er, hot-dog on the boot screen. This is /not/ a delayed Christmas present, though. Rather, it's a consequence of using strictly only packages that are currently in Fedora for this snapshot. This also affects the number of present activities. I want everybody to be aware that this is *very* early in the development cycle. Please don't report bugs on each missing activity, but help us packaging it. Expect more to come on that front, soon. --Sebastian </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">The build is available here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/soas-3-20091228.iso">http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/soas-3-20091228.iso</a> Please follow the Blueberry instructions to put it on your flash drive. You can even run it on your XO-1 from a flash drive (NAND installation possibilities are being evaluated) by using liveusb-creator. Afterwards, plug it into your XO-1 and type: "boot u:\boot\olpc.fth" However, a known issue is (on the XO-1 only) that the X session tends to crash when trying to scroll. Help with debugging this would be very welcome. Thanks and happy testing! --Sebastian P.S.: Enjoy your holidays! _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org">SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas</a> </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
