This seems reasonable, but all it would do is compromise Sugar on a

Stick as a meaningful name. 
Any other suggestion for a generic name for the class of external-media distributions would be fine.  Sebastian likes "Sugar Live Media" which works for me.

This seems somewhat confusing to me, since as a newbie I wouldn't know what 'liveUSB' means and I might be using an SD card.
