I would recommend using Blueberry at this time.

This e-mail was reporting on a new script to use with a beta of the next
version of Soas v3-Mirabelle.
which is slated to be released in several weeks.
This script allows customization of a live USB stick of Sugar and then
duplication to multiple copies with the changes a teacher has made to it.
Each clone will ask for a new name and identification color for the
student's Avitar.
It can be used now on Blueberry-v2-Soas
look at
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category:Live_USB#Duplicating_SoaS_with_customization
for more information.
Cordially;

Is this premature?

I just tested new script:
Several possible problems with error handling with the new script:
1-) live USB was 4GB tried to write to 2GB USB
error :
too small to write, shutdown
Inserted new 4GB fat 32 with no boot flag
cd /mnt/live/SugarClone
"No such file or directory"
Reboot USB and Directory is there.....
2-) live USB was 4GB tried to write to fat 32 4 GB USB (no boot flag)
error:
no boot flag*
cd /mnt/live
"No such file or directory"
Reboot USB and Directory is there.....
3-) live USB was 4GB write to fat 32 4 GB USB with boot flag set*
SugarClone works fine
It looks like your error shutdown of script leaves the /mnt/live directory
in a changed state....
"Cleaning up to exit" not totally working<
* your script error instructions for setting boot flag with parted:
'......................................
# /sbin/parted /dev/sdc
(parted) toggle N boot
(error: "expects partition number")?
.......................................
I used Gparted on USB externally then retried it and it worked fine.
Note: script fails to make bootable USB if it is a SanDisk Cruzer 4GB that
has a hidden U3 partition.
(only removable in windows if done prior to using it in linux) (I guess it
writes grub to wrong place)
Gparted does not see this partition at all
*These are in Cheap multi-packs at Cosco and may not even be marked that
they contain the U3 partition.
Script worked great on a normal USB
SugarClone is a great Idea!

A maintenance update is now available at
http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone.
New:
1. Records the remix details for the Sugar Clone in the new build file
that displays in the 'My Settings' 'About my computer'.
For example,
Build: Remixed soas-i386-20100501.07.iso in a Sugar Clone prepared
by SoaS-Mirabelle-May on 03 May 2010
Sugar on a Stick 3 (Mirabelle)
Fedora release 13 (Goddard)
Sugar: 0.88.0
2. Bug fixes
b. Improved support for cloning from one attached device to
another.
Test Usage:
1. Before booting the SoaS device that will be the source of the new
SugarClone, copy the SugarClone script to the root '/' folder at
the base of the filesystem for the device, or, to /mnt/live (from
the perspective of a running LiveOS image).
2. Boot the USB stick into SoaS and insert a second USB device into
the computer running that SoaS image.
3. In the Terminal Activity of that running SoaS image, enter the
command,
/mnt/live/SugarClone
If there is more than one USB/SD storage device available, a menu of
the devices
will appear to allow you to select the target device.
The scripts will copy the currently running image to the target device. When
that device is booted, a new, Sugar Learner sign-in will be triggered. The
previously customized Journal and operating system will be present on the
Sugar Clone image.
On a running LiveOS image, the root folder of the USB/SD device is
available at the /mnt/live mount point. The SugarClone script
can be obtained (assuming Internet connectivity) as follows:
1. In the Terminal Activity, change the working directory:
cd /mnt/live
2. wget http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone
3. chmod +x SugarClone
at this point, you may simply execute
SugarClone
See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone for
more information.
Notes:
See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/LiveOS_image for more information
on optimizing file storage on LiveOS images.
