Bug#429529: live-image: please support using an image stored in a "normal" of a USB key

[lucas at lucas-nussbaum.net (Lucas Nussbaum)]

Package: live-image
Version: 1.0~a14-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

It seems that, when using an image stored on an USB key, one has to dd
the image to the key, and then one can create a partition with the
remaining available space.

But if you want to update you USB key to a newer version of your image,
that sucks, because you lose what's on your partition.

It seems that Damn Small Linux allows to write the bootloader, and then
make it load the image from a fat partition.

Would this be possible to do with debian-live ?
