The OP's problem, which I think was the same as mine although perhaps

This is a proposed contribution to the manual. There has been enough
discussion of this topic in the Knoppix and Puppy Linux forums to

neither BIOS supports boo

live-snapshot does not save all the files even in my home directory.
All it saves are a few configuration files, as follows:
/cygdrive/g$ gzip -cd live-sn.cpio.gz|cpio --list

When BIOS does not support USB booting, grub4dos offers another means of

at end-user level in the debian-live manual:
1) configuring wireless connection
2) booting USB flash (FAT) or USB hard drive (FAT or NTFS) from primary

3) booting from CD, reading iso from NT
