I've rolled up some custom debian ISOs using live-build to use on a live USB drive to develop on for a software class at school. I made sure to set the --bootappend-live "boot=live persistence" option, and I've made a partition called persistence and populated it with a persistence.conf file containing "/ union". However, none of my data is being saved. I test this out by booting the system, making a file in the home directory of my user called test.txt, and then rebooted to see if it was still there. Am I doing something hideously wrong?
Thanks,
