In order to this 2 topics, i configurated my isolinux. But i have the
problem, that it doesn't work. The problem is, that my inserted file
"persistence.cfg.in" gets renamed to "persistence.in" and is not usable
for the menu.cfg... How i described in my first mail.

You are right. This should work automatically... And a handle on the
mounted stick, where i copied the image with dd on, is not possible,
because "filesystem is readonly"... So no chance to manipulate the
isolinux...
