I recently created a persistent live USB for the first time. It worked perfectly but there is one aspect of its behaviour that I do not understand:
I used a 4Gb stick. After creating the stick in 10.10 using the built-in disk/USB creator, I added Restricted Extras as well as creating a couple of files to test that the persistence worked, which it did. However, at this point I ran Update Manager which downloaded and installed approx 210Mb of updates. Before the update I had 2.7Gb of free space, but after updating this had shrunk to only 1.5Gb. I thought that I had done something wrong so I formatted the stick and repeated the whole installation, but got exactly the same result. Can any of the members explain it? Is this normal behaviour for a live USB? Is there an easy way to get any of this space back, or should I avoid running Update Manager?
