I'm not totally convinced that this is gonna work, because I believe the "persistence" gets overlaid on top of the regular liveusb filesystem *after* the (old) kernel has booted.

Unless I'm well out of date, the bootloader for a liveusb is SysLinux, not grub -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
