I think have found a simpler solution for generating liveusb's of soas:
1-)
In Gparted a Lexar Jumpdrive Firefly 4GB USB is formatted as:
/dev/sdg1 fat 16 Fedora 1.86 Gib boot
/dev/sdg2 fat 16 My Files 1.86 Gib
2-)
In terminal the first partition writen to:
./livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 800
soas-i386-20100329.19.iso /dev/sdg1
This leaves an empty 2 Partition USB with a 2nd partition labeled My Files
3-)
Then a copy of soas-i386-20100329.19.iso pasted from another PC into the
2nd Partition
also loaded in soas are the programs gedit and liveusb-creator
Installed applications:
IRC 5
Pippy 35
Analyize 8
SocialCalcActivity 5
Sugar Commander 2
Browse 114
Turtle Art 83
Log 23
Physics 4
Terminal 31
this USB can make new USB with liveusb-creator called from the terminal.
In the Graphical Program the soas-i386-20100329.19.iso is found in the
"My Files" partition.
This partition is seen on the frame in sugar and can store files for the
user .
Any other live.iso can be pasted into the 2nd "My Files" Partition which
appears on a PC Desktop when it is inserted.
In sugar you only need 2 USB's 1-)Boot USB and 2-)Target to make new
live USB copies.
I have not yet uploaded it. I will if it is needed.. But it is easy to
follow these instructions.
