Replication is not the issue (we have Nexcopy, after all). So a 2GB
image with some persistent storage, even if liveinstall doesn't work,
would be the target.

Hi Walter,
I hope this email finds you well and happy new year!
We have about 200 drives we can send you.
-- can you provide the most current download link for Sugar?
-- can you provide an address to send the USB sticks
If there is anything new you can report...I'd be happy to hear it.
Respectfully,
Greg

Look at this tutorial [1]
[1]
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Tutorials/Installation/How_to_make_a_SoaS.img_file_for_repeated_installs_to_4_GB_USB%27s
Download a prebuilt .img file:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Soas_8.img 3.7G download
This command can be repeated for multiple USB's:
Note it takes about 10 minutes to write to each 4 GB USB
use "mount" command to confirm USB device name and edit: of=/dev/sd(x)
[root@localhost Desktop]# dd if=Soas_8.img of=/dev/sdc bs=2M
1912+0 records in
1912+0 records out
4009754624 bytes (4.0 GB) copied, 587.133 s, 6.8 MB/s
[root@localhost Desktop]#
This is a real netinstall of f18 sugar-desktop to a 4 GB USB with
firstboot
not yet run*
It boots from the USB once written (see tutorial
root=sugarroot
*user name and colors are set in firstboot

The problem is that the command "liveinst" does not install to USB at the
moment
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896687
So it is now only possible to create a USB stick with the dd command:
[root@localhost RC4]# dd if=Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso of=/dev/sd(x)*
bs=2M
288+0 records in
288+0 records out
603979776 bytes (604 MB) copied, 177.758 s, 3.4 MB/s
of=/dev/sd(x)* use mount command to get device name of the mounted USB
-Note that it will have no persistence
The 4 GB .img file has persistence as it is a regular ext4 netinstall of
Sugar-desktop to USB (Thus larger in size)
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Soas_8.img 3.7G download
It would be easier to just use the above command from fedora 18 terminal
repeatedly on each new 2 GB USB using the downloaded file;
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/releases/18/Spins/x86_64/Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso
-Note it only takes about 3 minutes per USB (177.758 s)
Cordially;

Walter;
I just tested
graphical "Liveusb-creator --reser-mbr" in fedora 18
USB does not reboot after first start, if made with persistence.
I will test li-t d created USB next.
(last chance for a 2 GB USB with persistence)
