yes I got this to work on a 1GB USB with a lot of effort. I find it generally slow to create the USBs. In general the fastest way to create a new one is to copy it from one USB to another while booted into Linux. However, I don't know if you can do that in Sugar and this particular setup doesn't let you escape out of Sugar back down into Ubuntu as far as I could figure out.
Herea are my notes on how I did it. Here is my feedback on making the existing directions more friendly. 1. Download the stock ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso<http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso>and burn it Yup, I can do this. 1. Boot from this CD and from there, use LiveUSB<http://klik.atekon.de/liveusb>to copy the system to USB stick (use a stick with 1-2 GB capacity as problems have been reported with larger ones) Ok so when you follow this link you eventually end up at this page. http://ppa.launchpad.net/probono/ubuntu/pool/main/l/liveusb/ Please provide instructions on exactly what to download. I picked liveusb_0.1.1_all.deb<http://ppa.launchpad.net/probono/ubuntu/pool/main/l/liveusb/liveusb_0.1.1_all.deb> Then also provide instructions on exactly what the user should do to install it. I fumbled around and eventually it opened, but I couldn't actually tell someone else how to do it. Then provide instruction on exactly which options to set. I picked both persistence and flash and the flash ended up giving me an error. 1. If you use the persistence option, you need to replace casper/initrd.gz on the stick with the bugfixed initrd.gz<http://dev.laptop.org/%7Eprobono/sbuntu/initrd.gz>provided here. The Casper direction is write protected. Please provide instructions on how to deal with that. What is this? Why am I doing it? 1. Add the file sugar.squashfs<http://dev.laptop.org/%7Eprobono/sbuntu/sugar.squashfs>to the directory casper/ on the USB stick Again the write protection on Casper made this more of a challenge then might be expected.
