Hi.
I use debian live 8.2.
I want to retain after reboot the effect of commands:
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install <package>
Because I guess it's safer in terms of security than the debian that I
everyday use for Web-browsing.
Is this guess right?
I made a persistence partition by the following script.
mkdir /media/usb0
mkfs.ext4 -L persistence /dev/sdb1
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /media/usb0
echo "/home" >> /media/usb0/persistence.conf
echo "/bin union" >> /media/usb0/persistence.conf
echo "/etc union" >> /media/usb0/persistence.conf
echo "/lib union" >> /media/usb0/persistence.conf
echo "/usr union" >> /media/usb0/persistence.conf
echo "/sbin union" >> /media/usb0/persistence.conf
echo "/var/cache/apt" >> /media/usb0/persistence.conf
Are the appended directories to persistence.conf enough?
Are there unnecessary directories?
I booted a live session with a boot-parameter "persistence".
After doing the configuration of /etc/apt/sources.list, I executed
# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
and then rebooted into another live and persistence session.
But now I couldn't install vlc.
Why?
# apt-get install -y vlc

And one more question.
After reboot,

/bin, /etc, /sbin and /usr use aufs.
Its Use% has increased than the initial value.
If I execute many "apt-get install ~" from now on,
will this value amount eventually to 100%?
I'm afraid of its wretched consequence.
Are there any way to avoid that?
