See this comment added to http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1798#comment:23 : School-based deployments may want to take advantage of the persistent /home/ directory installation instead of the persistent OS overlay. The persistent home folder is not a write-once, ever-diminishing storage space. For consistency and stability reasons, the school may want to leave out the persistent OS overlay (using a temporary overlay on each boot) and just use the persistent /home/ directories to save the Learners' Journals and settings. If a school-wide system change were desired, the Sticks could be upgraded with a simple exchange of the /LiveOS/squashfs.img file in the base file system of each device or stick, perhaps, even triggered by the School Server. Installation of a persistent /home/ directory is available at the present time by means of the livecd-iso-to-disk shell script (which is available within a booted Mirabelle image at /LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk). There are other features that are available in http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone<http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone>, and storage space optimization is discussed on this page, http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/LiveOS_image<http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/LiveOS_image> . The Sugar Clone enhancements have been submitted for inclusion in the standard livecd-iso-to-disk script, see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01608.html<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01608.html> . --Fred
