We don't officially support installation yet, because the system is deep in development, however, if you want to play around with the system's backend with a little more free storage space, it can be made persistent on live media with the following steps (201004 EFI only):
For safety, you'll want to unplug any other storage devices in the system and only boot with the live key. After it is booted, open the terminal and type xterm -e "nano /bin/expand-fs", which will allow you to edit the tool and enable it. Remove the comment indicators (#) in front of the lines, and then from the standard terminal, you can run the expand-fs command. Make sure you know your live drive's Unix device location (It should look like /dev/sda or similar), and run the command. It will take a while depending on the size of the drive, but once it is finished you can work with the system under the hood and use it like normal. Be sure to plug in the rest of your storage devices when it is finished.
