Greetings,

Apparently, when creating a live USB, if you do not specify
a "--home-size-mb", the default is zero and you can't save
any files on your desktop. Huh ...
Apparently, it doesn't read your mind, eh? :)
I almost never want persistent storage because I primarily just
want it to do installs. "Persistant on USB thumbdrives" is a
bit of an oxymoron... as USB storage (not talking about external
hard drives but flash) really degrades for me over time... and
fairly easy to corrupt... or at least that has been my
experience.
TYL,
And persistence does not give space back.
Also a misunderstanding. See the newly revised livecd-iso-to-disk man
page,
https://github.com/rhinstaller/livecd-tools/blob/master/docs/livecd-iso-to-disk.pod
The storage space of any files in the original root filesystem (inside
the SquashFS
compressed ext3fs.img file) is not
recover
able
upon deletion, but the storage space
for newly added
files, or changes stored in the overlay,
is
recoverable
.
The overlay space
is allocated once
as needed
, so
the dmsetup status report of
allocated sectors will not reflect the availability of space once used
but later deleted.
(The confusion was caused by an error in an earlier version of the man
page, where
the overlay was described as a write-once storage method instead of an
allocate-once
method. The current version corrects this.)

That is good new.
Problem: when I add too many programs to the drive and run out
of space, removeing the programs has no effect. So, it
acts like the original statement in the man page it the correct
one.
Maybe this has something to do with it?
$ rpm -qa \*live\*
liveusb-creator-3.13.2-1.el6.noarch
livecd-tools-13.4.5-1.el6.x86_64
Red Hat states that EL6 will be supported till 2020.
But ...
