-
-This directory is used to build a USB key containing a Kubuntu 8.04 LiveCD
-with persistent OS files and persistent /home files.
-
-You will need to run as root for most things ...
-
-Packages needed:
-apt-get install syslinux mbr
-
-
-1. Start by editing the "config" file. Be sure to get your USB_DEV
-   definition correct.  Note: you can see what devices you have
-   connected by running:
-
-      lsscsi
-
-   For example, I get:
-
-   $ lsscsi
-    [1:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  _NEC     DVD+RW ND-1100A  108B  /dev/scd0
-    [1:0:1:0]    cd/dvd  PHILIPS  DVD+-RW DVD8631  9D03  /dev/scd1
-    [9:0:0:0]    disk    Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 PMAP  /dev/sda
-
-   and in my case, the USB device is the Kingston DataTraveler on
-   device /dev/sda.
-
-   Alternatively you can do:
-
-       fdisk -l
-
-2.  The scripts you need to partition the key and 
-   to write the boot image to it are all in this (usb) directory. 
-
-3. If you ever want to put the key back to its prior state, *before*
-   running the partition_usb_key, you might consider doing a:
-
-     sfdisk -d /dev/key-device >save_me  
-
-   where key-device is the key device name (e.g. sda).  The
-   output file can be fed back into sfdisk to recreate the original
-   with:
-
-     sfdisk /dev/key-device <save_me
-
-4. The next step is to get a copy of kubuntu8.tar.gz, which is the
-   USB boot image. Currently, it can be downloaded from:
-
-    www.bacula.org/downloads/kubuntu8.tar.gz
-
-  or from:
-
-    www.sibbald.com/download/kubuntu8.tar.gz
-
-5. Edit the file "config" and fill in the values that correspond
-   to your setup.
-
-6. After editing the config file, run:
-
-   ./partition_usb_key
-
-   Note, this script will destroy *all* data on the key, and assumes
-   that you have a 3GB or bigger key.  It may work for a 2GB key,
-   but you might want to reduce the size of the second partition.
-
-
-   The partition_usb_key script creates three partitions:
-
-    1. kubuntu8  -- USB boot partition containing the OS
-    2. casper-rw -- A writable ext3 partition for saving OS changes
-    3. home-rw   -- A writable ext3 partition for saving /home
-
-6. Mount your USB key and detar the kubuntu8.tar.gz image 
-   into the first partition.  Do this with:
-
-   ./write_usb_boot_partition
-
-   This can take a good amount of time (5 mins) since it must format
-   the new partitions then copy the boot image.
-
-7. You should now have a USB stick that can be booted providing the
-   machine permits booting from the USB port -- this can be adjusted
-   by modifying the BIOS boot sequence.  On Dell machines, you can 
-   enter the BIOS setup by pressing F2 just after power on.  
-
-   Alternatively, most machines let you boot from an alternate device.
-   For example if you press F11 while a Sony Viao is powering up, it 
-   will boot from the USB port. 
-
-   On Dell machines during power on, if you press F12, you will be
-   able to select any boot device (one time only) other than the one
-   that is the default (normally the CDROM or HDD).
-
-8.  When the key is booted, assuming you choose the first option 
-   (LiveCD), you will be running as user "ubuntu" the password is
-   "bacula", and you will be in /home/ubuntu.  
-
-9. Before booting, you might want to remove the USB key, using the
-   remove safely mode, then plug it back in so that you can access
-   the home-rw partition. Here you can put anything you want from
-   your system. However, you must use care to ensure that the files
-   are written with UID=1000 and GID=1000, which is ubuntu:ubuntu when
-   your boot the USB key.
-
-10. Finally, if you are running with a KDE desktop on Kubuntu 8.04,
-   you can copy it to the key with:
-
-   ./copy_kubuntu_desktop_to_usb
-
-   If you are not using Kubuntu, you can modify the script to 
-   adapt it to your situation or simply create a new script.
-
-===
-
-If you want to add additional OS tools to your USB stick, there are two
-ways:
-
-1. Remaster the iso boot image (a bit complicated) see README.technotes
-2. Simply use sudo apt-get install ... when booted into your USB stick. 
-   The changes will be written to the casper-rw partition (the
-   read/write OS partition).
-
-If you want to add something to your USB home directory simply mount
-the home-rw partition and write to it in the appropriate place as noted
-in item #9 above.
-
-One slightly annoying thing about the USB key is that the casper-rw and the
-home-rw partitions must be ext3 (with journaling turned on), and journaling
-is not really the best way to run with USB keys that have a finite write 
-lifetime. Switching the partitions to ext2 seems to prevent them from being
-written correctly, which means a lot of things such as starting X do not
-work.
