Re: Persistence and USB stick

2014-02-10 Thread Marcos Núñez
Please, I belive this questions to be very important, I've been also working with a debian live USB stick, not knowing if the advantages of a live build vs a normal build are really there. I also fail to see any ramdisk loaded while using the system... Thanks a lot! 2014-01-15 21:56 GMT+00:00 Fr

Hi Stefan! Sorry for the long delay. I'm not using my live system at the moment, but I believe I am using ntfs-3g since the package is installed. Does it change anything? Regards, Marcos El 10/01/2014 12:50, "Stefan Baur" escribió: Hi list, > > and sorry for possibly breaking threading, but I w

2014-01-07 Thread Marcos Núñez
I hope that it's ok to ask about non-free drivers here :) As many others, I have nvidia, fglrx and intel drivers installed in my custom live-debian build, as I use it in many different machines. My question is: is there a way to automatically select at boot time the correct driver for the host ma
