This same system, that is stored as a tarball is also stored as a
compressed image file at Phill's server,

http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/compressed-images/dd_ToriOS-pae-OEM_precise_7.8GB.img.xz

The size is 513 Mibibytes, and it will expand to 7.8 MB (Megabytes) to
fit in slightly undersized 8 GB pendrives.

- Use mkusb [in linux, and use 7-zip & Win32DiskImager in Windows] to
install it to a fast USB pendrive or an internal drive. It will
overwrite the partition table.

- Use gparted to the swap partition and after that expand the root
partition, so that the system will fill a larger part of the target
drive (often the whole target drive).

-o-

But if you want to leave an existing system on the target drive, for
example that you want to dual boot with Windows, please use the tarball
and the OBI method instead.

Best regards
Nio
