The next step will allow you to get a debian live usb with persistence, in few steps :
- Get an iso
- Format the drive
- Prepare the files
Get the iso
Download an iso-hybrid of debian : https://www.debian.org/CD/live/.
Format the drive
You can use :
- FAT partition with boot flag,
- ext4 partition with label persistence. The label "persistence" is mandatory.
Prepare the files
Lets copy files to newly created partitions.
Boot
You have to mount the FAT partition, lets admit to /dev/sdd1 to /mnt. Then unarchive the iso to /mnt.
# mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt # cd /mnt # 7z x /home/user/iso/debian-live.iso
We need some changes on the files.
# mv isolinux syslinux # for f in $( grep -FRil "splash quiet" ); do echo $f; LANG=C sed 's/splash quiet/persistence /;s/quiet splash/persistence /' -i $f; done; # cd syslinux # rename "s/iso/sys/" iso* # cd ~ # sync # umount /dev/sdd1
Persistence
We need to put a conf on the persistence partition.
# mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt # cd /mnt # echo "/ union" > persistence.conf # sync # umount /dev/sdd2
