That sounds more like we should revisit how we do those features rather than anything else. When livecd-iso-to-disk was created, we didn't have things like OverlayFS that may potentially simplify how we support this greatly. Most flash drives I've seen in use are at least 2x larger than the Fedora images, so it's almost wasteful that we can't leverage that extra space. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
