mkfs.ext2 /media/your_path_to_usbstick/casper-rw
3. Add persistent to your bootoptions
4. Reboot
Thanks again. I'll try that tomorrow morning and report back.
Out of curiosity, what does Linux save in this second partition, used
for persistence between reboots? Is it just a symlink to /etc?
I currently use a 1GB stick, so I was thinking of booting Linux from
the hard-disk/CD, shrink the current Linux on the USB stick to make
room for the persistent partition, and create/format a 200MB ext2
partition for persistent data.
