Hi everyone,
I’m using Netrunner with live-usb multiboot. Easy2boot seems to be the best way and the best compromise.
Sadly, I don’t find any way to boot it with persistent :huh:
I’ve followed howto :
Linux+Persistence (ext3\4)
Linux+Persistence using a .mnu file
The debian MNU file isn’t more efficient, here a copy :
[code]Place this .mnu file and the Debian Live ISO in (_ISO\xxx\MNU), e.g. _ISOMAINMENU\MNU or _ISO\LINUX\MNU
IMPORTANT: you MUST run WinContig (Ctrl+F2) before booting E2B.
For persistence: (File Name=debian-rw Volume Name=persistence)
1. click ‘Create ext2 FS’ in RMPrepUSB
2. Set the FILENAME to: debian-rw
3. Set the VOLUME LABEL to: persistence <------ VERY IMPORTANT
4. Set amount of space you would like allowed to persist (4GB+)
#The persistence ‘volume’ needs a persistence.conf file added
Boot to linux and then type following 5 lines in the terminal console (Applications - System Tools - Mate terminal)
sudo mkdir /mnt/usb
ls /dev/ (to see which is the USB device 3rd ptn - it will always be sd(something)3 - try also sudo fdisk -l)
sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/usb
echo “/ union” > /mnt/usb/persistence.conf
umount /mnt/usb
now reboot to linux using .mnu file

Nothing work, persistent is not connected and I’ve not error too and so any trace to find solution.
Does somebody successfully boot live-usb with persistent from easy2boot’s MNU ?
Thanks
