A minor update to Sugar Clone, a tool to clone a customized Sugar on a Stick device onto another USB stick.

New: 1. Build-dated release files to distinguish different versions. 2. A 10-second pause to review pending action for the case where there is only one destination device. Pressing any key will cancel the cloning script. 3. Use df for disk free space calculation in Sugar Cellar to better estimate usable home directory space available. 4. Bug fixes a. Invalid home directory size in Sugar Cellar when logged in as the root user. Test Usage: 1. Before booting the SoaS device that will be the source of the new SugarClone, copy the SugarClone script to the root '/' folder at the base of the filesystem for the device, or, to /mnt/live (from the perspective of a running LiveOS image). 2. Boot the USB stick into SoaS and insert a second USB device into the computer running that SoaS image. 3. In the Terminal Activity of that running SoaS image, enter the command, /mnt/live/SugarClone If there is more than one USB/SD storage device available, a menu of the devices will appear to allow you to select the target device. The scripts will copy the currently running image to the target device. When that device is booted, a new, Sugar Learner sign-in will be triggered. The previously customized Journal and operating system will be present on the Sugar Clone image. On a running LiveOS image, the root folder of the USB/SD device is available at the /mnt/live mount point. The SugarClone script can be obtained (assuming Internet connectivity) as follows: 1. In the Terminal Activity, change the working directory: cd /mnt/live 2. wget http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone 3. chmod +x SugarClone at this point, you may simply execute SugarClone See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone for more information. Notes: See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Mirabelle for the latest version of Sugar on a Stick. See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/LiveOS_image for more information on optimizing file storage on LiveOS images. --Fred
