+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

+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
