If you have a lot of free space on the device (many GB) then a size of 1 GB is a good choice although you can get by with much less. You just need to decide how large you want to make the file and what file system to use. The persistence files (rootfs and homefs) are straightforward to create once you know the trick. MX-15 liveUSB with Persistence Step-by-step
Persistence is a hybrid between a LiveMedium and a full install it allows you to retain any files you install or add during a live session. Work your way carefully through the remaster list, from top to bottom, following the directions that lead you through the process. Your changes will now be part of the default linuxfs filesystem and will appear even if you do not choose the persistence options at boot. The remaster system will walk you through rolling up your file system changes, either made during the session or from your persistence files if available, into a new linuxfs file on the liveUSB.
This will also work if you just want to save changes immediately rather than waiting for logout in semi-automatic mode. This is how you save your file system changes to the persistence file in the event you elected a manual save option. Again, this is not strictly speaking required for the remaster to work. The semi-automatic option is the default, whereby changes will be saved at logout. Although there is an automatic option, is does not currently work. This will set how the liveUSB will save the persistence file. Configure live persistence (Optional).This option isn’t strictly needed if you just want to make a remaster, but its nice for saving changes between remasters. If you made your bootable usb with unetbootin or similar tool, you can use this option to create a new persistence file which will let the user save changes made to the file system for future boots. The persistence/remaster tool opens with 4 buttons. Step by stepĪfter you have made all the changes you want in a Live session of MX Linux, click Start menu > System > RemasterCC and enter the root password. In other words, the development system must be booted using a linuxfs file that is on a writable device that has enough free space to create a new linuxfs file.Īlthough optional, persistent home or a persistent root can be useful if you are doing remastering. The development system must have been created using a “frugal install”, not a fromiso install.The boot device must have enough free space to create a new linuxfs file.There are three simple and straightforward system requirements that are needed to perform live remastering: (If you are using a LiveHD then you will need to create a LiveUSB or a LiveCD from the LiveHD in order to install elsewhere.)
Typically you will be using a LiveUSB as your target system for your customized version of MX Linux. WARNING: these tools are for use in a Live session only! Remaster Requirements
