It is also possible to just run the command: "liveusb-creator" in root
terminal
after # dnf install liveusb-creator is run.
The new USB-creator will not show the PC harddrive just the USB's as
they are inserted and removed.
It also allows a (dd) overtwrite option [5] or the traditional ability
to set a persistence file.
Thanks for pointing out that liveusb-creator has been upgraded. I will
test it.
I have not previously tested liveusb-creator because of this comment on
[1]:
"...Live USB Creator
(This installation method is NOT recommended for LONG-TERM usage
of Sugar on a Stick!! Catastrophic data corruption may occur
when the USB stick gets full! See why.)"
Is this critique regarded as valid?
Is it the case that liveusb-creator makes *one only* persistent storage
area, with zero "Home filesystem" as opposed to livecd-iso-to-disk
creating two?
Live USB Creator has a new feature is allowing a destructive (dd)
install to USB [1]
This is a safer way to move the xxx.iso to a USB and make it bootable.
look at the referenced .png and the wiki page link a gave earlier [2]
The fedora 21 installer (root terminal in sugar:#liveinst" is shown with
screenshots and narration here [3]
If you choose persistence and move slider it is only persistent for a
short time and does corrupt and
stop eventually.
For a slow but really persistent USB install to a 8 GB usb ext4 with no
swap with "liveinst"
I use external USB HD all the time to install to and they are cheap and
quite large these days.

It would be nice to have a sugar-zed icon for this as a activity. (An
.xo wrapper to make it an activity.)
