        Duplicating SoaS with customization

http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2010-April/000998.html

Notes:

    * Download these 3 files:

http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/modified_livecd-iso-to-disk
http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/transferSugarImage
http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/newSugarStick
chmod +x for each of these files to let them run as an application


These are available at http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/.

    * Copy/paste these 3 scripts* into the USB opened in a PC desktop*
    * OR
    * in sugar root terminal:

 su
 cd /mnt/live/
 use wget http://...above links to for download.
 chmod +x for each

    * edit the script :transferSugarImage line: TARGETDEV=/dev/sd(*)1 to
      reflect your device address
    * (enter "mount" in terminal to find your device address)

In the Terminal Activity of that running SoaS image, enter the command,

     /mnt/live/newSugarStick

    * scripts are in all sticks created by the first custom stick you build.


*great way to make a customized spin for special uses
eg:custom languages/extra applications etc..
