Sorry this mail got lost in the heaps of mail I recieve yesterday, but what u have suggested has already been implemented on my pendrive. The pendrive has been partitioned into two with all the programs on partition and the bootloader such as boot, casper and .disk folders on the other. Yet it is not saving the additional programmes on d pendrive I install. On the other partiton which has the programs from the CD there r folders such as Gstreamer, Compiz etc which I tried to install but I cant access them as I dont have permissions. When I sign in as the root user I cant see these folders at all!!!!!!!!!!!
