2006-04-05 21:33:39 Matt Zimmerman title LiveCD: persistent option design approach Persistence is complex to use
2006-04-08 03:19:02 Chip Piller description According to the wiki found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDPersistence in order for one to use persistence with the LiveCD one is required to format a usb flash drive with a certain filesystem type, give the file system a specific label (casper-cow), insert the usb key prior to booting the LiveCD, and finally when the bootsplash appears one must just know that he/she is supposed to hit a certain function key and append the "persistent" option to a kernel boot argument line. This is just crazy, this cannot be the real plan?? Is this just a temporary attempt to enable persistence? According to the wiki found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDPersistence in order for one to use persistence with the LiveCD one is required to format a usb flash drive with a certain filesystem type, give the file system a specific label (casper-rw), insert the usb key prior to booting the LiveCD, and when the bootsplash appears one is expected to hit a certain function key and append the "persistent" option to a kernel boot argument line (this information is not available in a help screen at bootup). This is just crazy, this cannot be the real plan?? Is this just a temporary attempt to enable persistence?
