(This allows one to specify another device partition recognized by the computer, such as, /dev/sdc1 or /dev/sd(x)n , as the source for the SugarClone. One may also specify an .iso image file of a LiveOS distribution, such as /path/to/soas-i386-20100408.01.iso that one may have on their system or attached drive. The parameter is use on line 755 of SugarClone (at the very end of the file when modified_livecd-iso-to-disk is called). --builder <name> The name of the builder of the customized SugarClone. Default: someone --mntpnt <wdir> (default: /mnt/live) The filesystem directory mount point for the source holding the build scripts, SugarClone and modified_livecd-iso-to-disk. (This is an interim and limited method to specify a path to files on the source or other device. This is mainly for testing, unless a good use case arises.) --help Displays usage information and exits. The target device is selected by SugarClone from the list of USB storage devices it finds by querying the hardware abstraction layer of the computer using 'hal-find-by-capability' and 'hal-get-property'. The selected device is saved in the variable, TARGETDEV. ${TARGETDEV}1 is used as a parameter at the end on line 755, as well as on lines 680, 682, where SugarClone copies itself to the new device filesystem for future use. Hope that helps, --Fred
