Hi, Unlike ISO images, hdd images are re-writable or better expressed in this case, can be easily edited, so in order to modify the boot parameters that you want to modify, without having to type them each time I guess these kind of images would be the preferred ones to work with. Now, since hdd images are not pre-built to be offered for download, you should build them yourself (it only takes some careful preparation of your configuration but it, your configuration, can be re-used again and again) or as an alternative use the online builder at http://cgi.build.live-systems.org/cgi-bin/live-build >Perhaps the initramfs could enable > persistence by default if there are partitions or filesystems labelled > persistence with the right configuration files in them? > Not being a technical person myself, I have no idea whether that is doable or not. Sorry. But from my humble point of view, I see the persistence boot parameter as an option. There are certain cases in which you want persistence enabled, then you add the parameter at boot time. In other cases you will not want persistence enabled, so it shouldn't be automatically added. But as always, it only depends on the use case, which can be very different from one person to another.
