[Sugar-devel] I made a bootable stick unbootable. What happened?

[Carol Farlow Lerche]

Unless there is a way to make SOAS2 reliable in the face of hasty insertion
and deletion, I don't think it will work very well in a classroom setting.
It shouldn't be the case that the stick becomes unbootable.  Can a root
partition on the stick be made read only?
