===How To Sugarize liveusb-creator===
===Soas stick that writes live USB's===
*the script "sug" needs to be edited to reflect the location of activities in different versions of SUGAR:
this USB can make a new USB with liveusb-creator called from the terminal
 
How To Make Stick:
 
1-) In Gparted, (Partition Manager),format a Lexar Jumpdrive Firefly 4GB USB:
/dev/sd(*)1 fat 16 Fedora  1.86 Gib boot
/dev/sd(*)2 fat 16 My Files 1.86 Gib
 
(*)''' Be certain of your sticks device name''' ie: /dev/sdb,/dev/sdc....
In terminal enter "mount" and you will see a list including your device.
 
2-) In terminal, install the soasxxx.iso to the first partition:
 
./livecd-iso-to-disk  --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 800 soas-xxx.iso /dev/sd(*)1
 
This leaves an empty 2nd Partition on the USB  labeled "My Files"
 
3-)remove and re-insert USB in PC (it will appear as 2 USB's on Desktop)
 
Paste a copy of soasxxx.iso from the PC into the 2nd Partition "My Files"
 
4-) Boot PC with USB stick.
 
5-)in root terminal:
yum install liveusb-creator
6-)to start program:
in terminal:
liveusb-creator
 
In the Graphical Program the soasxxx.iso is found in the "My Files" partition.
This partition is seen on the frame in sugar and can store files for the user .
 
Any other live.iso can be pasted into the 2nd "My Files" Partition which appears on a PC Desktop when it is inserted.
(It has the capacity to hold up to 3)
 
With this USB, you only need 2 USB's 1-)This Boot USB and 2-)Target to make new live USB copies.

I know that this works for firefox, I can't vouch for any other program. I know that it does not work for mc. It also doesn't work for roto's current mplayer configuration, because only programs that use the same command every time (ie, no input file name, in this case) can be set up to run this way.

--- Comment #4 from Jeremy Katz <katzj@redhat.com> 2009-02-04 09:15:40 EDT --- The problem is that the overlay fills up and that there is then nothing that can really be done. Fedora 10 adds the 'reset_overlay' option that you can pass on the kernel command line which helps to recover, but ultimately, we need something better than dm-snapshot to use for the overlay
