* The openSUSE version is a clicfs "dual mode" image that is burned to a stick by the dd command.
===Dual Mode .iso Files===
* If just dd is used, creates a CD image on a USB. (Useful for Netbooks with no CD Drive)
NOTE: Latest versions of opensuse-edu-sugar.iso files can be burned to USB with dd command. "They are dual mode"
* fdisk can create a persistent 2nd partition (see below)

The resulting USB/SD has not got persistence. It is equivalent to Booting from the CD

# fdisk /dev/sd(x)
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 3824.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
  (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
