I pulled it from here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_creat e_and_use_Live_USB There was no other option in the example for creating a writable /home. In any case, the --home-size-mb option isn't the one causing the problem. The command appears to start up correctly with that one and without --overaly-size-mb. > > > livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 2048 > > Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-26-1.5.iso /dev/sda > > First, are you sure that you want to write to /dev/sda?

I think I should be OK up to 8GB total for my 8GB USB drive and 4GB for each writable bit. It's the latest (I think): livecd-tools-24.4-1.fc26.x86_64 -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
