Hiho,

I just tried to load PureDyne onto a USB stick, and mostly it all worked fine 
and was well documented.

The only issue I had was when following the gparted tutorial, I had problems 
creating a second primary partition on the USB stick.
It took me a while to figure out that there are different formats for the 
partition table, which by default on my stick was set to "loop", which doesn't 
allow for a second primary partition. I had to set it to "msdos" for it to 
work.
Maybe a note about that in the docs would be good!

I also had some confusing issues with the automount'ing that was going on on 
the UbuntuStudio machine I was creating the usb-stick on. I wonder if it would 
be possible to turn that off, while doing this partitioning...

Oh, and then I was wondering with SuperCollider why it was creating the VIM-
documentation, while I was running the scel-interface. I don't think that that 
should be done while running in scel...

Sincerely,
Marije
