Comment(by CarolineM):

 We need this if anyone is looking for a project.  Here are some
 suggestions on additional features it should have from a teacher. He is
 writing to the Feodra live-usb guy but I think these are issues we should
 think about for our clone activiity.

 Sir;

 I found your e mail address from:

 https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/wiki

 I have been working on setting up a USB or SD to act as a portable Dual
 Mode Sugar on a stick.

 see:
 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Getting_Involved/Testing
 /Soas-F11b_Sugar0.84.2

 There are several improvements that would make this a more easily used
 format:


 * Have a way to disable the live user account in a SD or USB stick
 (created with Fedora Live USB Creator) if it has a persistence file
 after a User account has been created.

 * a way to remove the un-deletable "Install to hard disk" icon. There is
 always the danger a user would click on this and damage the underlying OS
 on the machine
 it is plugged into.

 * allow system updates to occur with out destroying the USB or SD
 installation.

 I hope that these are changes in  liveusb-creator are possible as it would
 turn a  USB or SD card into a full F11 beta with Sugar Desktop portable
 environment
 for Students and other users. ( I use mine now a way use my EeePC with
 Fedora and Sugar without installation. I can then move the whole package
 to another computer when I travel.....)

 Cordially;
