I guess it depends on how the bootable flash drive is set up. If it's just like a regular bootable drive, which is set up in the same way as the hard drive you'r normally boot from, you should be able to update, install new software, and so forth with no trouble. But if it's some kind of compressed archive that eapands itself to, say, a ramdisk and leaves the machine running without any reference to the boot drive (which ccan even be unplugged), it would be somewhat more difficult. I know there's a live CD package of some sorrt for Debian, which is a set of tools for making live-CD images. I haven't used it, and don't really know how to operate it. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
