Is this on a USB stick with persistent /home? If so, then you'll also hit problems if the file is too big to fit into there.

If the file is so large that copying it runs you out of memory, that could potentially be your problem. -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
