yes I got this to work on a 1GB USB with a lot of effort.  I find it generally slow to create the USBs.  In general the fastest way to create a new one is to copy it from one USB to another while booted into Linux. However, I don't know if you can do that in Sugar and this particular setup doesn't let you escape out of Sugar back down into Ubuntu as far as I could figure out.<br> <br>Herea are my notes on how I did it.<br><br>Here is my feedback on making the existing directions more friendly.<br><br><ol><li>Download the stock <a href="http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso" target="_blank">ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso</a> and burn it</li></ol>Yup, I can do this.<br><ol><li>Boot from this CD and from there, use <a href="http://klik.atekon.de/liveusb" target="_blank">LiveUSB</a> to copy the system to USB stick (use a stick with 1-2 GB capacity as problems have been reported with larger ones)</li></ol>Ok so when you follow this link you eventually end up at this page.  <a href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/probono/ubuntu/pool/main/l/liveusb/" target="_blank">http://ppa.launchpad.net/probono/ubuntu/pool/main/l/liveusb/</a><br> <br>Please provide instructions on exactly what to download.
