Speaking for teachers working with students, the extra work to download the extra activities desired for over a hundred flash drives would be dauntingFWIW, I think downloading activities to each individual stick is an utter waste of time. There are better ways to do that; off the top of my head, you can:at best.
a) Prepare / configure a single stick (the smallest one) and clone it by removing ~/.sugar/default/owner.key* and using dd to do an exact copy of
the stick or
b) create a custom SoaS image[2].
Yes, we could and should build tools that allow non-techies to do this
easily. But anyone doing a deployment at this scale will need a system
administrator anyway - even if just a teacher with a reasonable amount
of Unix/Linux experience.
