RE: putting a debian live image on a usb flash drive
So I created a binary.hybrid.iso for my custom kali linux system, and when I put it on a dvd it works fine it boots and brltty comes up without a problem.
However, when I copy that same iso to a usb key, I get the boot menu beep, when I select live, it loads the Braille display drivers, but I never get brltty to come up. I have been waiting for about 10 minutes to see if it just takes a while the first time because I have a persistence volume with "/ union" in the persistence.conf file, but so far nothing.
I used:
Dd if=binary.hybrid.iso of=/dev/sdc to copy the iso image to the flash drive.
I am using live-build 3.0.5-1 which is the latest version in the kali repositories.

there's no live specific limit.
depending on what filesystem you choose for the binary image, you can hit maxfilesize or maxfilesystemsize (e.g. with iso or fat quite early), with real filesystems (ext4) you shouldn't hit any limit with the current available usb stick sizes at all.
(note that choosing ext4 as a binary fs is not support out of the box yet, there's still missing the automatic handling of extlinux as bootloader instead of syslinux).
