Hi All,
I just created my first bootable Live CD flash drive
with Fedora Live USB Creator. I gave it 2 GB of
Persistent Storage. I burned to the stick.
Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso
Questions:
1) when I boot from the flash drive, if I install
anything, such as Firefox, will it stay installed or
is it volatile?
2) my motherboard does not support USB boot devices.
Is there a way to get KVM to boot from it?
3) the stick is USB 2 with 24 MB/s read and 20 MB/sec
write. How long do you think it should take to
boot? Any faster than a DVD drive?
Hopefully I will not have to wait for a customer's
computer to test this. Maybe the next one I
build (got three coming up).
I have had the expeience of DVD drives on new el-cheap-o
HP desktops breaking on me when I try to boot from
a real Live CD. Very frustrating. And the customer never
wants to replace the thing as they don't use it
or even know what it is for.
Many thanks,
-T
