It works fine. * Used on 4GB USB Firefly*: ./livecd-iso-to-disk  --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 2000 /home/robert/Desktop/soas-i386-20100421.18.iso /dev/sd(*) * Removed and then reinserted USB in Ubuntu 9.04 * Copy/Paste 2 scripts to opened USB on Desktop:     modified_livecd-iso-to-disk     SugarClone *Inserted and booted USB on Acer Aspire One     su     /mnt/live/SugarClone found Target USB and made clone sucessfully. Note: Boot Screen no longer appears (Plymouth?) (I just get horizontal bars >f13) I am not sure that this is an improvement....(I liked the Boot Screen) QUESTION: Do I need the modified_livecd-iso-to-disk script with this new version to be on the USB? ONE PROBLEM on Acer Aspire One: "Turns out the SD adapter uses the PCIe bus" and is not recognized by Sugar or your Scripts SD only is seen if mounted in a Lexar SD to USB adapter.... Can this be fixed, is it worth it, as SD cannot boot anyway? * On a EeePC900 with the same USB and SD the SD is seen and the script(s) work. They are a GREAT improvement! Thanks Tom Gilliard satellit <blockquote type="cite">One problem with acer aspire one: It will not boot from an SD slot (see notes below), but works well with a USB. My lexar SD to USB adapter lets an SD boot but then it sticks out the side. : / This works on the EeePc900 as SD is on the USB bus... Tom Gilliard satellit ============================= Can the Acer one boot from the SD storage slot? ....................................... I see no evidence with european or north american models of the ability to boot from SD readers. There is no mention of this feature in any BIOS release notes. I am running the latest BIOS available to canadian modles v3009. v3114 is the latest for european. Neither mention SD boot in release notes nor does my v3009 give any SD boot options of any kind with cards in either slot. Nor is the GRUB bootloader able to access SD cards (afaik) =D ....................................... Turns out the SD adapter uses the PCIe bus and the BIOS only supports booting directly from USB devices </blockquote> Frederick Grose wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:k2rf3383f811004222248jade1cb57ra3ac0eac11bb9a67@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Not yet final, but ready for more testing is a new version of SugarClone, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone">http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone</a>. New: 1. Reduced the previous 2 scripts to 1 bundle for more convenient, single-file distribution. (It expands on execution to run the device selection script and then, the modified_livecd-iso-to-disk installation script.) 2. Updates the boot screen title and 'About my Computer' build information with SugarClone build information from the source image and the Sugar Learner account name. (Leaves the source files unmodified.) 3. Provides more auditing of inputs (more code paths tested). 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 (not the /root folder). 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 for selection of 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 SugarClone 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 could be obtained (assuming Internet connectivity) as follows: 1. In the Terminal Activity, change the working directory: cd /mnt/live 2. wget <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone">http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone</a> 3. chmod +x SugarClone See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone</a> for more information. Notes: The SugarClone bundle was prepared with the bundle script (at .../fgrose/bundle). The older scripts are renamed with a date suffix. Embedded help, which describes the script and its usage in more detail, is available (just after the stock header) in the script file. --Fred </pre> <pre wrap=""> <hr size="4" width="90%"> _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org">SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
