[SoaS] dd creation of persistent USB using a clicfs .iso using fdisk to make partition 2

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Here is the terminal output of the creation of a Persistent 4 GB SUGAR 
USB using a clicfs .iso which then has a second partition added with fdisk.

It works.

# fdisk /dev/sdg

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 3824.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
