</blockquote><div><br>Sugar Grane can use different Sugars :) , both solutions works at different levels, both have advantages and disvantages. Are pretty much similar but one covers the fast switching but it depends of computers already running sugar. <br>

Right now we are calling these "boot-helpers" but we probably need a better name.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>That's pretty much what I'm proposing. <br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>Some use cases are as follows:<br>
<br><ul><li>A computer is donated to the school with a request to wipe the hard drive. We wipe the hard drive and install a specialzied Linux (Fedora today, others also in the future) that just does the boot and looks for a USB for all the student files.</li>
</ul><ul><li>The school has a laptop cart of Mac ibooks. We install a Virtual machine of some kind (Virtual Box or VMWare probably) that does the same thing, it looks to the USB for student files.</li></ul></blockquote><div>

Can you tell us more about what you want to do and what hardware you want to support and what technology you want to do it with?<br>
