Persistent USB.img files for dd install

based on mandriva 2010.1 repositories

Gnome
caixamagica-linux-usb-15-GNOME-int-usb-i586_4Gb

USB .img file used as follows: ( /dev/sd(x) = address of your 4GB USB )

root/home/(user)/Desktop# dd if=caixamagica-linux-usb-15-GNOME-int-usb-i586_4Gb.img of=/dev/sd(x)
7782768+0 records in
7782768+0 records out
3984777216 bytes (4.0 GB) copied, 1133.2 s, 3.5 MB/s
#

Hint: use an 8 GB USB after dd writing. Use gparted to resize the 3.8GB partition to 7.8GB.

Then Boot PC from the stick and make the persistent partition 1.8GB.

This allows enough room for all of the updates and installation of sugar 0.88.0.

(I found 3.8 partition wiht 1.0GB persisetece file did fill up and stop working)

KDE
caixamagica-linux-usb-15-KDE4-int-usb-i586_8Gb.img

root# dd if=caixamagica-linux-usb-15-KDE4-int-usb-i586_8Gb.img of=/dev/sd(x)
