Hi Jim,
The Ubuntu team switched the way they produce their iso files, so the
usb creator application got re-written.
Unfortunately the persistence feature was lost in that process.
At the beginning of the 10.0 development I ported the previous version
of the usb creator tool from 14.04 to 16.04 for testing purposes.

This version has the persistence feature but I am not sure it is working
as expected.
Best,
Angelos

I'd like to make an 8GB USB image of OSGeo Live 11 that uses the extra
space on the USB stick for a persistence file.
Back in the Lubuntu 14.04 days, I used a tool called "Startup Disk
Creator" (a.k.a. usb-creator-gtk) that when run from a system booted to
the OSGeoLive ISO could create a bootable USB with a persistence file
(casper-rw). It looks like Ubuntu took away the persistence file option
from that tool in 16.04.
I know I can use dd to copy the .iso to the USB stick and it will work,
but without persistence. It seems like a step backwards if people loose
all their work every time they reboot.
Does anyone know how to do make an image with persistence enabled with
OSGeo Live 11?
