Hi all, I have made a 'preliminary' script for creating a USB stick that boots INX and allows "persistent" sessions. This is the first version, but it seems to work OK here... What you need: * USB stick (minimum practical size for 'persistence' to be of use would be about 512 MB) * Live CD booted to get and run the script * Literacy skills ;-) How: * Boot a live session of INX from CD (toram is OK if you prefer) * Run 'wget http://inx.maincontent.net/inxusb ' (not yet visibly linked on the site, for obvious reasons) chmod +x inxusb sudo ./inxusb That's pretty much it. You should get a bootable USB with two partitions - labels 'INX' (first partition - 250 MB) and 'casper-rw' (second partition - rest of drive). Both partitions are currently ext2, so they won't be visible from *cough* that other operating system ... I'm using grub as bootloader, because boot screens for syslinux or extlinux are a pain. Now, this actually needs testing, so please give it a go. It only takes a few minutes... I hope for some feedback on this, because I want to add it to INX, and it needs to be "safe for humanity" ...
