Walter;
Look at this tutorial [1]

  [1] 
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Tutorials/Installation/How_to_make_a_SoaS.img_file_for_repeated_installs_to_4_GB_USB%27s

  Download a prebuilt .img file: 
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Soas_8.img   3.7G download

This command can be repeated for multiple USB's:

Note it takes about 10 minutes to write to each 4 GB USB

use "mount" command to confirm USB device name and edit: of=/dev/sd(x)

[root at localhost Desktop]# dd if=Soas_8.img of=/dev/sdc bs=2M
1912+0 records in
1912+0 records out
4009754624 bytes (4.0 GB) copied, 587.133 s, 6.8 MB/s
[root at localhost Desktop]#



This is a real netinstall of f18 sugar-desktop to a 4 GB USB with firstboot not yet run*
It boots from the USB once written (see tutorial
root=sugarroot
*user name and colors are set in firstboot
