I frequently use this Python script, editliveos.py, which can be run from a directory containing these files: https://git.sugarlabs.org/~FGrose/soas/sugar-clone-extensions/trees/master/editliveos The output of editliveos.py --help is here: https://git.sugarlabs.org/~FGrose/soas/sugar-clone-extensions/blobs/master/editliveos/editliveos-help If you run editliveos.py from a booted LiveOS image, it schedules a reboot 1 minute after completion. Errors sometimes appear after the filesystems are swapped, but the new rootfs.img or ext3fs.img has always been good. If you use a separate home.img filesystem, it can have some unclosed inodes that are cleaned by e2fsck. --Fred
