I am attaching a screen shot of the structure of one of the sticks FYI.
Are we any better in using live-cd creator for USB creation in Strawberry.? Is the compressed fs safer to use?I do not know how to predict what will happen other than see how long the USB Sticks last.
The file structure may be more stable vs all writes going to the overlay in strawberry, but that will
be determined I guess in field testing. Cordially Tom Gilliard satellit Luke Faraone wrote:

You will need to remove some files in ~/.sugar in order for collaboration to work properly in that case.Also, per http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_Damage_a_FLASH_Storage_Device , you may get better milage out of your USB disk if you don't use DD, but rather just copy over the files.
