[copying USB stick via dd]
Sucessfully copies the USB stick! this is an exact copy and boot and runs well.Just a word of caution: Because it's an exact copy, it will duplicate your "identity" as well if you've ever logged in to Sugar and entered your name before on the source USB stick. You will need to remove some files in ~/.sugar in order for collaboration to work properly in that case.
(The USB's are slightly different in size sometimes even though same size and manufacturer)That's quite normal unfortunately. If you're trying to replicate sticks by raw device copy (i.e. using dd), I recommend either using the smallest of your sticks as the "master" one (easy, but you need to know the exact size of all your sticks in advance) or leaving enough "free" space during partitioning and copying only the allocated part with dd (tricky).
