Live USB'

Copy-paste an .iso to a 2GB soas-i386-20100405.17 live usb while it was mounted in a PC

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

Root terminal:

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

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