Yes, SoaS v6 is indeed wonderful. It seems speedier to load the OS, load 
Activities, and shut down than previous versions.

Kudos to Peter Robinson especially.

  This is an example of a dd writable SoaS-v2.img file which produces a fully 
functional Conventional install on a USB. This is equivalent to a liveinst 
install to USB.[1] 
It was first suggested by bernie [2] in early 2010 as a better alternative 
to the currently used live USB SoaS filesystems with their fragile and limited 
sized overlay, 
a.. This functionality is expected to be included in fedora 17 liveinst 
(Anaconda) 
b.. It would be even nicer to be able to create and install to USB, the 
Soas-v7.img file directly from the first sugar boot screen as a third option 
line, rather from a obscure liveinst command in terminal.

Hi All,

So there's no rest for the wicked its time to think about what you
would like to develop for SoaS v7. I know upstream is all very busy
already the sugar team are full pelt into the conversion of sugar
to gtk3 and PyGI and there's all sorts of fun stuff going into
Fedora... so what do you want?
