Hello Terry, If I understood you correctly, you want to do some modifications to the LiveOS image.

I'd argue that the operating system installed persistently to the USB drive by some custom method ensuring only some minimal requested set of packages is installed would be a better option for most use cases, also allowing to upgrade the OS to the latest version. It should also be possible to set up the system in such a way that any unwanted changes to the system are not saved between reboots. However I understood from your sentence above that you don't want to take this approach. > Thanks for any pointers. There is a way to make a custom bootable live image of Fedora. Every few months someone on these mailing lists asks about it. You might want to check Fedora mailing list archives for that. I also found this page that might help you: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LiveOS_image/overlay Though I'm not sure how up-to-date it is. In general, I'd suggest 'LiveOS' and 'SquashFS' as keywords for your search. -- Michal Schorm Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat -- On Mon, Sep 5, 2022 at 12:56 AM Terry Polzin <foxec208@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > To be clear, I don't want to install a disk device. > > Basically I need a procedure to > > Remove the livecd user and disable auto login. > Keep grub intact on the USB and write it's updates there. > > I'm perfectly happy booting the USB via the BIOS.
