Thumbs down no save 20.1 linux


I put linux 20 1 on a flash key with YUMI. This is the latest Mint Distro.
Everytime I end up with no save.
The persistent file configs with the YUMI.
Still no save, any ideas anyone.
What good is a no save I ask myself.

Try installing it on a computer - alternatively install it as a VM if you just want to try it out for a while.

Thank you JB.
No I don't want to install on my computer.
Things have worked ok in the past with distros on a key.
Back we go to the drawing board?

Haven't we been here before??
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ve-4175677827/
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...es-4175654874/

...and you said you had it working previously, so not sure why you can't repeat what you did previously, or what happened in the interim. But it also seems like you've been working with YUMI for several years now:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...rk-4175638468/

...and have been doing flash drive installs for at least six years:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ve-4175563503/

So...very confused as to any difficulties you may be having, with so much experience, and saying that things were working only 6 months ago. Can NONE of the previous answers/advice help? Can you actually give details about this? How you did the install? What you did with YUMI? What error(s)/message(s)/behavior(s) you're seeing when you try to save? What you're trying to save??

I think this is a smart question. possibly I am the only one.
I have used YUMI before on various distros,
They have been ok too.
But YUMI with Mint 20 1 no save, thats it.

Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. Have you done ANY research into this??
https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_betsy.php

YUMI's own website says that if you find one that doesn't work, to notify them. Have you?

Again, we've been here before. Your past two threads from a few months ago claim to have the exact same issue, along with one where you said you had it working. AGAIN: if you had it working, why can't you do the exact same thing as before?? You noted several issues in those other threads that you say you solved...have you done the same thing here?

Just restating your original question (which you've now asked THREE TIMES, over the course of months), without providing any additional information does no one any good. You were asked several questions, which you haven't answered.

AGAIN: just restating your question is pointless, unless you provide further information. Jefro looked something up for you from the YUMI site...did you read it? Did you read the link I looked up for you? Have you tried to do ANY research on your own as of yet?? You probably need to read the things you've been given before posting back in regards to this.

And again, this is the third time you've asked this same question, but both times before you said you already had it working and resolved it. Have you (AGAIN) tried going back to those threads and reading them?
