also (Gnome)

Hi Tom,
I'm been super busy finishing school and getting ready to move so I've only
been following things periferally.
This seems like something I should be testing.
Its a long thread though, can you give me a hint on the easiest way to
create a stick that can create clones? I have a Mac and a PC easily usable.
Thanks!

I used your newest script to make a neat USB:
Download:
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/13.RC3/Live/Fedora-13-i686-Live/
Used script to make 4GB USB with it
Booted USB to Gnome
terminal:
su
yum install sugar* (94 files)
shutdown
insert into PC drag-drop new SugarClone to opened USB
remove USB
boot from USB
gdm select sugar
Insert 2nd 4GB USB
sugar-terminal:
/mnt/live/SugarClone
automatic detection of 2nd USB with pause (THANKS)
finish clone
shutdown
boot from 2nd Cloned USB
select gnome from gdm (automatic logon)
Menu: applications/education/sugar starts sugar-emulator
Very nice gnome + sugar Live USB! (and it is able to clone itself)

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

<http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone><http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone>
<http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone>Available at:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone.
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.
