Barry,

I tried that, the installer only seems to consider devices it detects as hard drives.

Hmmm, I ended up using a usb 3 portable ssd in the end as my emergency recovery solution.

But that was because the usb stick was very slow I recall, maybe I am not recalling the reason correctly.

Are both usb present when you boot up? Maybe the installer will not allow the use of a usb stick that is installed after boot?

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.  I am currently testing with the XFCE-live image.

Thanks for any pointers.

No you cannot do it in place.

But what you can do is install from the live image to a 2nd usb stick.
