Hi toriosadores,
0. I found that several tools do not work 'out of the box' to create a persistent boot drive with ToriOS. The best system was to use mkusb (which makes a pendrive read-only just like a CD disk). This means that the persistence must be in another drive, for example another pendrive or an internal drive. The persistence can be contained in a file with the name 'live-rw' or in a partition with the label 'live-rw'. 1. Unetbootin can create a bootable USB drive, but it assumes that the name or partition is named or labeled 'casper-rw'. Furthermore it creates a file for persistence in FAT32, which limits the size to 4 GB. 2. The shellscript *mk-toripersist* uses a modified configuration file 'syslinux.cfg' which makes it convenient to select between an ordinary live session and a persistent live session. mk-toripersist does some configuration automatically and also prompts the user to follow a path, that is likely to be successful. (gparted and Unetbootin are called by the script.) 3. There is a pdf manual *mk-toripersist_quick-start-manual.pdf* to make things easier. See this link http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/torios/persist/ Enjoy :-) Hi torios-devs, The current version works for me. Maybe it could be packaged in a better way, and maybe you will find some bug, or confusing feature, that should be fixed or changed.
