m1ke Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 After watching Shannon's demonstration on episode 6X17, I created a persistent live Linux install on a flash drive using the application and instructions found on LinuxLiveUSB.com. I already have another functioning USB multipass flash drive and would like to move the new installation of the persistent Linux install over to the USB Multipass. Now I just need a menu.lst that would boot the new installation once I move it. Can someone take a look at the directory structure and provide one? \---Dists | stable | unstable \---karmic | Release | Release.gpg | +---main | +---binary-i386 | | Packages.gz | | Release | | |

manite Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) I'm having trouble figuring out the options as well. Has anyone else attempted this yet? After watching Shannon's demonstration on episode 6X17, I created a persistent live Linux install on a flash drive using the application and instructions found on LinuxLiveUSB.com. I already have another functioning USB multipass flash drive and would like to move the new installation of the persistent Linux install over to the USB Multipass.

H@L0_F00 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm not sure if you would be able to copy all of the files for the persistent system into its own folder, but you can try. If not, you can of course just keep all of the files/folders on the root of the drive and essentially all you would have to do is modify the syslinux config options to make them work with GRUB4DOS in your menu.lst, which is almost effortless (just take a look at the files in the syslinux directory and you can figure out what you need to put in your menu.lst). If you have multiple OSes that use the casper squashfs filesystem, you may want to take a look at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
