I checked out and built the code from the repo. I did a similar test to 
what was done with apevecs code... built a livecd and launched it in 
virt-manager... and movved it to a usb stick using livecd-iso-to-disk. 
All worked for me. I had one small set of changes (tabs, spaces) which I 
  will send along in another email.
