<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>-<br /> ==Using liveusb with persistence==<br /> <br /> *The default grub menu has homefs and rootfs set as persistent on a separate partition.(sdc2 default). Only one should be used. If both are used, then rootfs overrides.<br /> *rootfs is very powerful as all root changes and user changes are saved so users can install whatever they like, as long as the partitions are large enough.<br /> *homefs should be used for simply customising the user look, saving files etc to /home/demo.<br /> <br /> 1. Install antiX.iso to usb [[http://antix.mepis.com/index.php/Howto_articles#antix2usb antix2usb]]<br /> <br /> 2. On usblive boot, use the correct rootfs or homefs cheatcode to boot into the desktop. Make your changes.<br /> <br /> 3. Reboot with the correct rootfs or homefs cheatcode to your saved/changed desktop.<br /> <br /> 4. Users can, if they wish, install their own 'remastered' live usb to hard drive and all changes should be kept! (I think changes to home get overwritten though)<br /> <br /> eg. <br /> <br /> * Fresh liveusb boot with rootfs cheat<br /> * Install lxde via the meta-installer<br /> * Reboot with rootfs cheat and desktop=lxde cheat to see if all is ok. If it is, install to hard drive.<br /> * Boot into an antiX-lxde desktop on hard drive!</div>
