>

New:

>
1. Records the remix details for the Sugar Clone in the new build file
   that displays in the 'My Settings' 'About my computer'.

   For example,

   Build: Remixed soas-i386-20100501.07.iso in a Sugar Clone prepared
            by SoaS-Mirabelle-May on 03 May 2010
          Sugar on a Stick 3 (Mirabelle)
          Fedora release 13 (Goddard)

   Sugar: 0.88.0


2. Bug fixes

>
   b. Improved support for cloning from one attached device to

>       another.

>

Test Usage:

>
1. Before booting the SoaS device that will be the source of the new

>    SugarClone, copy the SugarClone script to the root '/' folder at

>    the base of the filesystem for the device, or, to /mnt/live (from

>      the perspective of a running LiveOS image).

>
2. Boot the USB stick into SoaS and insert a second USB device into

>     the computer running that SoaS image.

>
3. In the Terminal Activity of that running SoaS image, enter the

>    command,

>
      /mnt/live/SugarClone

>
If there is more than one USB/SD storage device available, a menu of
the devices
will appear to allow you to select the target device.

>
The scripts will copy the currently running image to the target device. When
that device is booted, a new, Sugar Learner sign-in will be triggered.  The
previously customized Journal and operating system will be present on the
Sugar Clone image.

>
On a running LiveOS image, the root folder of the USB/SD device is

> available at the /mnt/live mount point.  The SugarClone script

> can be obtained (assuming Internet connectivity) as follows:

>

1. In the Terminal Activity, change the working directory:

>
   cd /mnt/live

>
2. wget http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone

>
3. chmod +x SugarClone

>
at this point, you may simply execute

>
   SugarClone

>

See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone for

> more information.

>

Notes:

>
See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/LiveOS_image for more information
on optimizing file storage on LiveOS images.
