When you use the package "usb-creator-gtk", it creates for you a
file system (called a "persistence file") where changes you make
(including packages you download) remain on the USB drive, so next
time you boot it, you still have those new packages, along with
any configuration you did for them. <br>
<br>
Using that, I can install all the MIDI music packages I need (and
configure them), and I end up with a working MIDI music Linux
system, whose drawback is that it takes longer to boot than it
normally would. The other drawback of doing this, is that if you
download updates, any kernel updates will not update the kernel
actually used. <br>
<br>
I wonder if you use the method you described in your e-mail, that
there is no persistence file, and so you are (as with the live CD)
running using a RAM-disk file-system. If that is the case, it
would have the same large memory requirements for doing the
live-CD install as when using a CD. <br>
<br>
For testing (I think) it is nice to download a bunch of packages
you want to test with, and you can test or re-test at a later
time. <br>
<br>
I have noticed in doing this, that I have to edit the software
sources to allow "universe" packages. <br>
