Grandma's House:  Sasha also uses Grandma's computer.  Grandma's computer does not allow the Bios to be set to boot from USB, or maybe Grandma just doesn't know how to do it, so Sasha keeps a CD there.  To use Sugar Sasha put in the CD, plugs in the USB and turns on the computer.  The boot starts with the CD, and then the CD tells the system to look on the USB for most of the files.
