[ubuntu-za] Clone USB

[Wikus]

Raymond I think this is a good idea that might work. Unfortunately I ran 
out of time as my friend who I wanted to give a copy
had to leave and he has gone with the stick. So I will save this idea 
and test it when I get the stick back.

I think this one might just work.

I am amazed that linux hasn't solved this issue yet.
