Re: usb help

I was looking for the same information -how to make a usb stick
persistent- and could not find it in in the manual. A page on from the
wiki [1] gave me the answer although information there is not completely
valid for current vesion (persistent file/partition was named "caper-rw").

Maybe a "4.3.4 Persitency" chapter (just after "4.3.3 Using the space left
on a USB stick") could help people. Something about "live-rw" partitions
being autodiscoverd when "persistent" flag is added at boot time (or in
"syslinux/live.cfg").

persist partition when I boot so as to save any changes I make ?
