OPTIONS
--image <source> (default: /dev/live)
The running live image device , another partition
holding a live image, or the path to an .iso file bearing a live
image.
(This allows one to specify another device partition recognized by the
computer, such
as, /dev/sdc1 or /dev/sd(x)n , as the source for the SugarClone. One may
also specify
an .iso image file of a LiveOS distribution, such as
/path/to/soas-i386-20100408.01.iso
that one may have on their system or attached drive. The parameter is use
on line
755 of SugarClone (at the very end of the file when
modified_livecd-iso-to-disk is called).
--builder <name>
The name of the builder of the customized SugarClone. Default:
someone
--mntpnt <wdir> (default: /mnt/live)
The filesystem directory mount point for the source holding the
build
scripts, SugarClone and modified_livecd-iso-to-disk.
(This is an interim and limited method to specify a path to files on the
source or other
device. This is mainly for testing, unless a good use case arises.)
--help
Displays usage information and exits.
The target device is selected by SugarClone from the list of USB storage
devices it
finds by querying the hardware abstraction layer of the computer using
'hal-find-by-capability' and 'hal-get-property'. The selected device is
saved in the variable, TARGETDEV.
${TARGETDEV}1 is used as a parameter at the end on line 755, as well as on
lines
680, 682, where SugarClone copies itself to the new device filesystem for
future use.
Hope that helps, --Fred
