The next step will allow you to get a debian live usb with persistence:
- 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
We 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
We have to mount the FAT partition, lets admit /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
