Thanks, Sebastian. Perhaps we can package Sugar on a Stick for USB in various Linux distributions. The normal package installation process can run a configuration script, which presumably could prompt the user to insert a USB stick, warn about potential data loss, and verify the size and format of the stick before installing. Jonas should know if this will work.
