 Thanks for pointing out that liveusb-creator has been upgraded. I will
 test it.
 
I have not previously tested liveusb-creator because of this comment on
[1]:

...Live USB Creator 
(This installation method is NOT recommended for LONG-TERM usage
of Sugar on a Stick!! Catastrophic data corruption may occur
when the USB stick gets full! See why.)


Is this critique regarded as valid?

Is it the case that liveusb-creator makes *one only* persistent storage
area, with zero Home filesystem as opposed to livecd-iso-to-disk
creating two?

With thanks,
Iain

  It would be nice to have a sugar-zed icon for this as a activity. (An 
  .xo wrapper to make it an activity.)

Live USB Creator  has a new feature is allowing a destructive (dd) 
install to USB [1]

This is a safer way to move the xxx.iso to a USB and make it bootable.
look at the referenced .png and the wiki page link a gave earlier [2]
The fedora 21 installer (root terminal in sugar:#liveinst is shown with 
screenshots and narration here [3]


If you choose persistence and move slider it is only persistent for a 
short time and does corrupt and

stop eventually.

For a slow but really persistent USB install to a 8 GB usb ext4 with no 
swap with liveinst


I use external USB HD all the time to install to and they are cheap and 
quite large these days.
