Sugar on a Stick on an HDD

Just from the name itself, Sugar on a Stick is supposed to be installed on a USB stick, but you can actually install it permanently on a hard disk.

First, download the Fedora Live USB Creator. Then, download the latest SoaS iso image and install it on the USB drive. Boot up the PC from the USB drive. Go through the initial setup. Once on the Sugar homescreen, open up the Terminal activity. Select the Become Root option. If it's not there, just run su. Type 'liveinst' without the quotes. This brings up anaconda, which will assist you in installing the SoaS onto the hard disk.

In my case, I was using the latest Fedora-Live-SoaS-20 image, and the partition manager keeps dying on me, and sending me back to the prompt. Had to downgrade to Fedora 17 before it worked. Shrank the current Windows partition and used the resulting free space for Sugar.
