Other neat uses for the modified_livecd-iso-to-disk script

non-live USB/SD

• Make second live USB from iso downloaded with wget to root of your USB/SD

(I used Bernie's Blueberry-Direct ext3 non-live real file system, expanded with gparted to fit a 8GB SD)

Downloaded to root:

Copy files to your Live USB

• Copy-paste soas-i386-20100405.17.iso (or any soas .iso) to a 2GB live USB while it is mounted in a PC
• copy-paste modified_livecd-iso-to-disk to same location from PC

reboot with USB

• reboot with this USB and proceed to write it to another 2GB USB:
• alternately do this:

In the Terminal Activity, change the working directory:

cd /mnt/live
wget http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/modified_livecd-iso-to-disk
chmod +x modified_livecd-iso-to-disk

Make new USB

cd /mnt/live/
./modified_livecd-iso-to-disk soas-i386-20100405.17.iso /dev/sd(*)1

NOTE: /dev/sd(*)1 (the 1 is important)

type mount to find your USB device name

Works fine.... It should work with any live cd.iso
