On running a persistence session...

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi,

there is another alternative over persistance. That is to actually install
ubuntu onto the usb-stick. I think Ali's link is the most up to date[1],
simply replace the iso you wish with the Lubuntu one he states. Have a read
of it, it is a good discussion on that alternative.

Regards,

Phill.
