can one "dd" XO-1.5 internal microSD cards, to another XO-1.5?

[James Cameron]

Stripped of your superlatives, yes.

It isn't just .sugar, there's also .config.

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Imaging/Side_effects describes the exact
steps to do before duplication.

Get it wrong and you will break collaboration of Sugar activities.

Certainly unfortunate that said Ace Teacher isn't Ace enough to find
or develop expertise.

The microSD card connector has a limited life, as does the display
cable, so I'm all for opening and closing it many times so you have to
buy new laptops!  ;-)  Better would be to use SD cards.
