Added info:
You can use a 2nd USB with Blueberry.iso or soas-3 snapshot instead of
CD to load .iso into liveusb-creator :
1-)boot with 8GB Blueberry USB with liveusb-creator installed
2-)load .iso file from 2nd USB (or CD)
3-)create live-usb on third USB
You thus do not need a CD drive to produce a liveusb (Ideal for netbooks)
This worked on a EeePC900.

As zyx-liveinstaller and livinst both crash on startup of the snapshot
soas-3-20091228.iso ,
I have devised a workaround to install it on a LiveUSB.
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....

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

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.
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.

The build is available here:
http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/soas-3-20091228.iso
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!
