I just did a test of dd writewith a 4GB image made from a Sandisk Cruzer micro 4GB to a 16 PNY Mini-Attache' stick with no problems. It booted fine. (The PNY is a much cheaper and slower stick so I thought this was a good test) Tom Gilliard satellit Luke Faraone wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:2eaf0c620908041016rf1271d9pbe4cfa1c6039d9d3@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 03:03, Sascha Silbe < <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:sascha-ml-ui-sugar-iaep@silbe.org">sascha-ml-ui-sugar-iaep@silbe.org</a>> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">[copying USB stick via dd] </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Sucessfully copies the USB stick! this is an exact copy and boot and runs well. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Just a word of caution: Because it's an exact copy, it will duplicate your "identity" as well if you've ever logged in to Sugar and entered your name before on the source USB stick.
