#74: Add self replicating function/application.

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 At present the SOAS installation has to be 'created' on a PC after
 downloading a CD '.iso'/'.img', this requires a moderate amount of
 knowledge/computer literacy.

 It would be nice if a previously installed SOAS could duplicate itself
 onto another USB drive. All the required files would be there, so this
 should not be a huge headache.

 We would have to ask about the persistance file (if existing) to check
 whether:
 1) 'No' file required
 2) 'New' file of size XX MBytes
 3) 'Clone' file

 This would provide a way in which a school installation could be set up by
 a teacher/IT staff to include addditional software and then duplicated
 across multiple stick to hand out to students.

 Also helps the students share the application themselves, lets make it as
 easy as possible for them by sugarizing the application.


 From an Ubuntu point of view, the application usb-creator can recognise
 that it is running from a CD and create an image onto USB. However it does
 not (currently) peform the same function when running from a USB drive.

 Cheers,
 Mungewell.
