Hello Community

As promised, the KIWI-LTSP, LTSP5 on openSUSE using KIWI imaging
technology is now also available for deployment on USB stick. Live
DVD[1] has been available for some time now.

Get openSUSE-KIWI-LTSP-lite-liveUSB-unstable.i686-XXXX-BuildXXX.raw.bz2
 from here:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/images/

The image contains the latest stable GNOME, iTalc and fully pre-configured LTSP.

Here is how to deploy it on USB stick:

#extract the bz2 file
bzip2 -d -k openSUSE-Sugar-liveUSB-unstable.i686-0.0.1-Build11.1.raw.bz2

#dump it on the USB stick
dd if=openSUSE-Sugar-liveUSB-unstable.i686-0.0.1-Build11.1.raw of=/dev/sdX bs=4k

Run "fdisk -l" to find out what the USB stick device is, in my case it
was /dev/sdd, note that dd is to /dev/sdd not /dev/sdd1.

That is all that is required, boot the PC/laptop from the USB stick.

As always, feedback, suggestions, bugs[2] most welcome.

Kind regards

Jigish
