Liz, thanks for your interest

Please try making a script that lists the USB flash devices (SD cards
and USB sticks) connected to the system.

You can use Python or bash scripting.

In the output, put a '*' next to the device that was used to boot the
system (if the user is running the live image from a USB flash device
instead of a DVD)

Regards,

Daniel
