Sebastian; Please consider including the script livecd-iso-to-disk in the root of Soas-v4-Mango-lassi
Background: I have built an Installer USB: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/Variations#8_GB_USB_with_2.4_GB_2nd_partition.2A:fat16_MyFiles_with_Mirabell-remix_CD It is a 8 GB zyx-liveinstaller created USB formatted: /dev/sdb1/boot ext4 200 /dex/sdb3/ ext4 5000 /dev/sdb2 fat 16 Myfiles 2.41 no swap I drag-drop soasxxx.iso files and the script livecd-iso-to -disk into the 2nd Partition (visible on PC Desktop) then cp /media/Myfiles/livecd-iso-to-disk / After it is Booted. I can easily make live USB's of the Soas.iso with just 2 sticks: 1-) installer USB booted (2nd 2.4 GB partition, Myfiles, shows up as 3rd USB in sugars-frame) 2-) Target 2GB USB with this script: su cd / ./livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 600 /media/Myfiles/soas-i386-20100613.iso /dev/sdc1 Sample terminal run: > [r...@localhost /]# ./livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr > --overlay-size-mb 600 /media/Myfiles/soas-i386-20100613.15.iso /dev/sdc1 > Verifying image... > /media/Myfiles/soas-i386-20100613.15.iso: > 944a2dac81d8da3bbeb0f36bbc9f09ff > Fragment sums: > 3a55ab7c5e5485f21df9f3ec61b87d771b62f8facd795731e81c79ad7f7a > Fragment count: 20 > Checking: 100.0% > > The media check is complete, the result is: PASS. > > It is OK to use this media. > WARNING: THIS WILL DESTROY ANY DATA ON /dev/sdc!!! > Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort > > Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best > performance. > Waiting for devices to settle... > mkdosfs 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010) > Copying live image to USB stick > Updating boot config file > Initializing persistent overlay file > 600+0 records in > 600+0 records out > 629145600 bytes (629 MB) copied, 153.786 s, 4.1 MB/s > Installing boot loader > USB stick set up as live image! > [r...@localhost /]# I think that including the script in the root of the Mango-lassi-v4-soas fs will allow this to be done from a booted Soas CD And 2 USB's -USB with soas.iso -Target USB to write or -A similar, but simpler, 2 partition USB and 1 USB target. Cordially; Tom Gilliard satellit Note: liveusb-creator ( Installed on this Installer USB for testing) will not make a persistent overlay in this setup but does make a working live usb SugarClone cannot work as Installer USB is a non-live system. _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
