 You want to take an XO-1's filesystem from its NAND and make it
 bootable on another machine via a USB key?

 It might be easier (but it's by no means quick, and probably not easy
 either) to re-create the SoaS .ISO.

 Based on the information at the top of:

 http://cgit.sugarlabs.org/soas/mainline/tree/BUILDING

 ...you could:

 git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/soas/devxo.git xo-soas

 That should be:

 git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/soas/mainline.git xo-soas

But that would give Andres a live image with 0.84, right? I thought he
wanted the same Sugar and activities versions as Ceibal is
distributing.

If he wants Sugar 0.82 for regular hardware then I think that making a
custom live image of Fedora 9 would be the way to go.

If that's the case, then asking in fedora-olpc may be the best bet, as
there's people very knowledgeable about fedora's live images:

Yes.

 is distributing.

I see what you mean.  I just read I'm trying to do a SoaS and
To: sugar-de...@lists.sl.o and assumed he might be interested.  If he
wants an OLPC build with his activities, then as you say:

 If he wants Sugar 0.82 for regular hardware then I think that making a
 custom live image of Fedora 9 would be the way to go.

cd xo-soas
mkdir images cache
echo soas00  images/lastbuild
sudo ./build

...to check that you can build everything.  If it works you should end
up with about 10 gigs less of disk space and a lot of files in
images/, one of which will be soas01xo.img.

You will then have images/soas01xo.tree/, which contains the files
that went into that .img.

You can modify the images/soas01xo.tree/ files and then

cd images
touch soas01xo.tree
sudo make -f ../Makefile soas01xo.img

...to re-create the .img file.
