I made my usb drive with: livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --noverify --overlay-size-mb 100 --home-size-mb 150 --unencrypted-home --delete-home /home/xxx/Download/f10-kde-4.1.85-2/livecd-f10-kde-4.1.85-200812161507.iso /dev/sdc1 Why isn't a home of 150MB large enough to allow me to actually store things in my home directory ?
