@Olivier,

I think that the developers will stop looking at a bug report after the bug is fixed. So they might not read what we write here. (A discussion here is OK for me, but it may not involve the people who can change the code.)

Until you have collected enough opinion for your issue, there are workarounds to create a truly live-only USB pendrive:

- You can edit your binary iso file and replace the cosmetic boot options 'quiet splash' with the boot option 'nopersistent' (both strings contain 12 characters, so the replacement can be done without any offset in the following part(s) of the iso file. You can do it with 'sed'

sed 's/quiet splash/nopersistent/' standard.iso > nopersistent.iso

and clone 'nopersistent.iso' or flash directly with

sed 's/quiet splash/nopersistent/' standard.iso > /dev/sdx

where x is the device letter for the USB pendrive.

- You do it with a safety belt using 'mkusb-minp' according to the following link,
