Caryl;
I am uploading a 2GB USB img file - ETA about 2 hrs
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/soas-i386-20100324-tests.tar.gz
if you expand this file you will find
soas-i386-20100324-liveusb-creator.img
Burn this to a 2Gb or larger USB/SD
dd if=soas-i386-20100324-liveusb-creator.img of=/dev/sd(*) *( your
device name for USB, sda/sdb/sdc/.....)
This USB when booted will have liveusb-creator (with extra command
--reset-mbr ) as a sugar application ( large O ) on f3 ring.
(or command line in sugar terminal)
This can be used to make live USB sticks:
use 3 USB sticks:
1 soas-i386-20100324-liveusb-creator Boot stick
2 USB or CD/DVD, Containing strawberry , Blueberry or other .iso files
3 Target USB to write to
ALSO Note:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/ASLO-xo.tar.gz
Contains 111.xo activities; that can be , expanded, and transferred to
1GB or larger USB for "sneakernet" off web installs of activity.xo by
drag and drop in sugar from inserted USB to Journal in sugar frame.

Hi Caryl,
I think that might be possible, I vaguely seem to remember that it
might already be able to do this in Fedora.
As Mel has said it wouldn't currently fit on a standard CD as the SoaS
image is currently around 500Mb so the combined pair would be over a
gig.
Can you file a ticket against SoaS so it can be tracked?
Regards,
Peter

Hi All,
Semi-techie teacher here (me) has a crazy idea. Mel asked me to send it
along for further discussion on the SoaS list. I was hoping to have this be
something I could use at a tech fair for teachers next month, but better
later than never if it is possible.

DVD costs more, but would work.

Subject: Re: Crazy SoaS Idea
Hi, Caryl - would you mind forwarding this convo to the soas list?
Thomas Gilliard has been having a few similar ideas and perhaps there's
a chance to work together here.
The biggest problem I see with this is that the files needed to do it
wouldn't fit on a CD - but maybe it could be done on a DVD. If so, that
would definitely make a nice project for someone to pick up.

Hi Mel, Sebastian and Sean,
Here is a crazy mindstorm for you...
Is it possible to create a single CD that has the SoaS file download
that could be transferred to a computer that could then make the USB
version... and at the same time (same CD) have the live CD version that
could be bootable on PCs?
Could these files be downloaded on a Mac, put into a Burn folder, and
burned on a CD that would work on a PC even if it didn't play on a Mac?
In other words something like this:
Regular Live CD to boot... but with a separate file folder on the CD
with the SoaS image that could be accessed to create the SoaS USB
stick??? A dual purpose CD?
This would make it possible to distribute a CD that folks could try as a
live CD and also give them a file they could use to make their own USB
stick???
So there would be 2 files... One with the SoaS files for the creation of
the USB stick and the other to play as a live CD. Am I crazy or what???
