A-Non-Live (real file structured) USB
- click link ^
- This is an example of a dd writable SoaS-v2.img file which produces a fully functional Conventional install on a USB. This is equivalent to a liveinst install to USB.
- It was first suggested by bernie in early 2010 as a better alternative to the currently used live USB SoaS filesystems with their fragile and limited sized overlay,
- This functionality is expected to be included in fedora 17 liveinst (Anaconda)

- Technical Discussion of Live USB's: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Data_Persistence
- Limited Lifetime of Persistent Overlay
One very important note about using the "primary" persistent overlay for system changes is that due to the way it's currently implemented (as a LVM copy-on-write snapshot), every single change to it (writes AND deletes) subtracts from its free space, so it will eventually be "used up" and your USB stick will no longer boot. Because of these limitations, it is advisable to use the system-level persistence sparingly, for configuration changes and important security updates only. For a truly persistent write-many (vs write-once) overlay, use the --home-size-mb option to create a home directory filesystem image for personal files. Unlike the primary system overlay image, the home.img can be re-used and loop mounted outside of the liveusb environment.

Sugar Clone
- customize or duplicate Live USB installations
- (script files for making a customized Live USB installation self-replicating)
- Sugar Clone Wiki Page Sugar on a Stick/Sugar Clone
- Update: http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg02044.html
- Rebuild/Refresh a custom SoaS iso from a running stick
Possible Use Cases
(from Wiki Page)
- Curriculum packaging
1. A teacher wants to prepare a SoaS image with a custom set of installed Activity bundles or a Journal of Activity instances for an upcoming class term. 2. The teacher modifies their current working image by adding or deleting Activity bundles from their Home view and adding or removing Journal entries with specific content (such as a Physics model template or Etoys project), even saving distributable ebooks, or bookmarks in Browse Activity instances that are named for specific sets of local web destinations (a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity). 3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies. 4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed.
- Full image backup or sharing
1. A Learner has modified their environment, perhaps adding Activity bundles and prepared specific instances such as a Activities/Physics simulation. 2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality. 3. The Learner wants to archive or share this image with friends or for a backup. 4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores. 5. The User creates one or more Sugar Clones.
This method of backup has the advantage that it copies Learner changes to the core operating system as well as the Journal. A LiveOS image using a separate persistent home folder could be partially cloned with either the operating system overlay or home folder without the other should that be desired.
