Hear hear! BTW, I submitted a patch to LiveUSB creator to build a proper installer for the program; I'm not sure if it was ever rolled into the official version.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Live USB Creator (Fedora) and experimental SoaS builds- try script or zyx-liveinstaller for USB creation

If you want to test immediately with soas02.iso, start terminal, become root, and type rpm -e zyx-liveinstaller rpm -Uvh \ http://filteredperception.org/downloads/zyx-liveinstaller/zyx-liveinstaller-0.1.14-1.i386.rpm Then as root or non-root, launch by typing 'zyx-liveinstaller' as usual. The prior removal is necessary due to I think subtle packaging spec file differences between me and what Sebastian uses for the Fedora repositories builds. During my qemu test with soas02.iso, I actually used gparted. It isn't obvious anywhere, but you can create your destination partition(s) as 'unformatted' as opposed to 'ext2' or whatever. The installer formats and flags the partitions correctly, so if gparted formats them, it won't hurt, but it takes time. And note that under qemu's small resolution, you are a click away in two places from seeing gparted's 'apply' button which on decent resolutions, is normally just visible. Bugs, feedback, patches, praise, and criticism encouraged as always... Cheers, -dmc Art Hunkins wrote: I've been unable to build any SoaS other than Strawberry with Fedora's Live USB Creator.

I'm sorry for the delay in merging your patch, but I haven't had many cycles to put into the liveusb-creator lately, since it's kind of a side-project for me at the moment. However, I do have a couple of changes lined up and am hoping to get a new release out within the next week. So, I'll give your installer a shot and see if I can push it out in the next version. Do you guys need any additional changes to support newer versions of the SOAS? Thanks, luke (ps, if you're interested in helping out with the liveusb-creator project, please let me know, as we could definitely use the help of hackers, bug triagers, doc writers, marketing folk, release engineers, etc). ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
