Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 Right - reviewing this. Thanks for the work you've put in the proposed
 patch.


 I have a couple of comments...

 In general, if this is deployed to machines that have been using current
 Sugar 0.82 it will fail :-/ because they have the info in the 'profile'
 object.

 on the python side...
  - if we are not using gconf, drop the import
  - rsync line: you are dropping -a and not telling us why. Unless
 justified, add -z to the mix, keep -a
  - why hardcode ~liveuser? Get homedir for current user from os
  - why hardcode .sugar/soas? Things land in .sugar/default (and that
 location may be something that Sugar defines somewhere). In any case, this
 seems like it could be used in a variety of modes. Maybe store it under a
 more neutral name like .sugar/default/identifiers ?

 Shell:
  - If we don't have a nameserver, we have no net, or an adhoc mesh net.
 Let's keep the test. It's ultra cheap and valid.
  - Why do you make skip_lowonbatt conditional? It _does_ have code for
 non-XO hw.
