Hi all,

it would be great if somebody could give this standard procedure a try 
and confirm whether it works or not, so that we can react appropriately 
upon a ticket. You'll need two USB keys for this.

(1) use Fedora's LiveUSB Creator to prepare the first key with SoaS

(2) boot the first key and apply some changes as in:

	(a) change the language
	(b) download a number of activities

(3) plug in the second USB key and determine its mount point

(4) run as root on the first key: yum install livecd-tools (might or 
might not be already present, depending on which SoaS version you use)

(5) execute the following command from the terminal on the first key:

	livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 300 /dev/sr0 /dev/sdc1

(in which case /dev/sdc1 would be the mount point of the second key)

Does this [ ] WORK or [ ] FAIL? Please let us know!

Thanks,
--Sebastian
