I have not previously tested liveusb-creator because of this comment on
[1]:

"...Live USB Creator 
        (This installation method is NOT recommended for LONG-TERM usage
        of Sugar on a Stick!! Catastrophic data corruption may occur
        when the USB stick gets full! See why.)"


Is this critique regarded as valid?

Is it the case that liveusb-creator makes *one only* persistent storage
area, with zero "Home filesystem" as opposed to livecd-iso-to-disk
creating two?

With thanks,
Iain
