Once you login to your USB spin, su to root (should need no password)
Below is an example from Knoppix live CD:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img bs=1024k count=1024
Change the value of count to reflect however much persistent storage you would like
if you USB stick has space available for it.
mke2fs -m 0 -F /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img
The ram based root file system on you USB might have a different mount point
such as
/mnt/sysimage
I am not sure of what the directory path should be for a Fedora live's persistent storage,
so I offer only an example below:
mkdir /mnt/sysimage/persist
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sysimage/persist/data.img bs=1024k count=1024The ram based root file system on you USB might have a different mount point
such as
/mnt/sysimage
I am not sure of what the directory path should be for a Fedora live's persistent storage,
so I offer only an example below:
mkdir /mnt/sysimage/persist
mke2fs -m 0 -F /mnt/sysimage/persist/data.img
Next time you reboot, every time you modify something in /etc or /home in
the memory based file system, it will be automatically reflected in the persistent storage.
Good luck,
JD
