Title: Live usb with persistence
Post by: palimmo on 2013/05/30, 21:05:02
Hello everybody!
After several years with ubuntu I'd like to try new worlds.. therefore I'm here, eager to discover siduction.

Considering that I'm still a "beginner", I would like to ask you if there is an easy way to do a live usb with persistence.
Please explain it very clearly... I'm not dummmy, but almost ;)
I'm on ubuntu and i can use terminal a little bit.



Finally I'd like to ask you: what are the main differences between debian sid and siduction? and aptosid?

thank you very much!
i have of course several other questions... but I'll wait a little bit.

bis bald!

Please very clearly, tell us whether you have browsed our wiki and manual to finding a solution, before you ask here for psychological round-up care.

bis später!

I have read around something in debian forums.

For example:
can i run this command
sudo dd if=~/Desktop/siduction.iso of=/dev/sdc oflag=direct  bs=1048576

than create a ext2 partition labelled live-rw
and add the term
persistence
at the boot?

I have tried this with debian 7 and it works.
With siduction?

thanks a lot!
greetings from italy

It should be much more suitable what you could read here in the forum one thread below, in the wiki and in the siduction manual where you may find this explanation ("General information on persist" and "fromiso and persist on bootable USB-sticks/SD/flash-cards"):
http://manual.siduction.org/en/hd-install-opts-en.htm

Good luck

Hi and welcome, palimmo!  You can't beat our manual for useful guidance -- follow it exactly and you'll have a bootable USB stick, with persistance.

That was an interesting read.  What was more interesting, for me anyway, was the info at the bottom of the page about creating a bootable usb stick that boots into UEFI mode (Yeah, I'm still playing with that.).  Hopefully, I'll get time to try it soon.
