I have been booting from it and many offshoots alot
my pc gets rebooted about 100 times a day!
LOL
I make one
mksquashfs it
put it on usb or a hd partition
boot up nopersistent
check it out, look around
reboot and boot persistent with live-rw
setup desktop,etc for user
transfer user's /home/user/* folder
to /etc/skel of the uncompressed squashfs on my desktop
hit etc/skel with
Code:
chown -R root:root etc/skel/*
chown -R root:root etc/skel/.*
so everythings Kosher there
then update-iniramfs blah blah
and tranfser kernel/initrd's from squashfs-root to
image folder, also renaming them respectively
Code:
cp squashfs-root/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-486 image/live/vmlinuz1
cp squashfs-root/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-486 image/live/initrd1.img
cp squashfs-root/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 image/live/vmlinuz2
cp squashfs-root/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 image/live/initrd2.img
