However, if you desire to use persistence with the USB then no. You may also want to consider the fetch= boot param. From the man of live-initramfs: fetch=URL Another form of netboot by downloading a squashfs image from a given url, copying to ram and booting it. Due to current limitations in busyboxs wget and DNS resolution, an URL can not contain a hostname but an IP only. Not working: http://example.com/path/to/your_filesystem.squashfs Working: http://1.2.3.4/path/to/your_filesystem.squashfs Also note that therefore it´s currently not possible to fetch an image from a namebased virtualhost of an httpd if it is sharing the ip with the main httpd instance. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
