  Also, when using iso-hybrid and USB media, there are a few "cheats" to reclaim unused space on the USB media, and to turn it into a solution that allows you to run X2GoClient in portable mode on Windows, and boot it as X2Go-TCE, with a shared configuration file. 
  
  FIXME Document how to add second partition to USB media after dd'ing the iso-hybrid image, and how to add X2GoClient-Portable to it.
+ 
+   * The catch is that on USB media, Windows will only see the
partition with the partition number 1, even if there is more than 1 partition.
+   * However, it doesn't care whether the partition bearing the number 1 is actually the first partition.  It will happily display the contents of the second partition as long as it bears the number 1.
+   * So, one has to change the partition number of the dd'ed image to 2, then create a new partition in the remaining space and assign it the number 1 and a partition type of FAT (NTFS *might* work, but is untested.)
+   * After that, partition "number 1" - actually the second partition on the USB media - can be formatted.
+   * Once formatted, one can install X2GoClient for Windows on it, and add a short batch script or similar to run it in portable mode (''x2goclient.exe --portable --session-conf=sessions'').
+   * Stefan has written a script to automate this as good as possible, but it is still too fragile to release (fixed paths, many assumptions, no error checking = potential for serious breakage
including data loss).
  
  FIXME This page is missing a section/subpage that explains how to create images for local storage.
  
  Basically, proceed as shown for netboot above, but set LBX2GO_IMAGETYPE to iso or iso-hybrid (recommended). Do not select hdd or tar - even though it is supposed to becoma a local storage installation.
