This script allows customization of a live USB stick of Sugar and then duplication to multiple copies with the changes a teacher has made to it. Each clone will ask for a new name and identification color for the student's Avitar. It can be used now on Blueberry-v2-Soas look at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category:Live_USB#Duplicating_SoaS_with_customization">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category:Live_USB#Duplicating_SoaS_with_customization</a>   for more information.

I used Gparted on USB externally then retried it and it worked fine. Note: script fails to make bootable USB if it is a SanDisk Cruzer 4GB that has a hidden U3 partition. (only removable in windows if done prior to using it in linux) (I guess it writes grub to wrong place) Gparted does not see this partition at all *These are in Cheap multi-packs at Cosco and may not even be marked that they contain the U3 partition. Script worked great on a normal USB SugarClone is a great Idea!

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 <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone">http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone</a> 3. chmod +x SugarClone at this point, you may simply execute 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.
