Sorry for the late reply. I have read your mail at least once a week
since you sent it to the mailing list and every time I hesitated
before replying. The problem is that you give so little information in
your mail that it is really difficult to try to find a solution to
your problem. You should at least state your live-build version and
your host operating system among other crucial information.
But anyway. I'll try my best:
> set --bootappend-live to persistent
It should be "persistence" not "persistent"
>I edit the file persistence.conf

Using "/ union" (heed the space) should make /home and /etc/network
persistent, so the duplication makes no sense.
>but persistence doesn't work.
Persistence doesn't work is too general a statement. I remember an irc
help session with Ben in which after a lot of trouble he discovered
the problem was the user was using a shitty text editor which didn't
add a blank line at the end of the file and the persistence.conf file
was not properly read.
You can clearly see how a little detail makes a *huge* difference. So
please try to be more informative next time.

Thank you very much. I hope this information is of some help for you.
