persistent image overlay --live usb fedora 9
hi friends
i am trying to make a custom respin of fedora9 with third party packages, and make a live usb with "persistent image overlay", it is a must for me to make this enabled
i already made a couple of tries in makaing the livecd and live usb with live usb creator, i am successful in making live cd and with that i made a liveusb but the data gets wiped off after i reboot.
i finally understood that i need to modify my kickstart file in order to achieve this, but my knowledge is insufficient to make this possible
therefore i seek the help of the geeks, i am posting my kickstart data file , kindly help me
