I remember some time back (Neil) mentioned a package I was
not aware of (and naturally cannot remmber the name of) that
made creating USB bootable, usable, images on a usb stick
straightforward?
Do you mean isohybrid? That converts an ISO image to make it suitable for
copying to a USB drive with dd and booting it as if it were a CD. it's
not suitable for your needs as it uses the whole drive as an ISO9660
filesystem, leaving nowhere to save your files.
Yep, that's it. Theoretical question: If one build this image, why
can't you include a file that is the size of the remaining free space
before creating the image? It afterwards use that file space to
install additional wares?
