[ubuntu-uk] Running From Pendrive with Persistence Allocated

[Tony Doherty]

I have been experimenting over the past few months with Ubuntu 9.10 & 
10.4 running entirely from a 4Gb USB memory stick and with 1Gb of 
persistence (Casper) allocated. I use the Pendrive Linux utility to 
prepare the memory stick.

I tend to find that, after a few updates have been received, Ubuntu 
refuses to boot from the drive due to various errors. Selecting an older 
Generic Header can restore the boot therefore it appears to be 
corruption of the latest updated Header.

Can I ask if it is best not to receive updates when choosing to run 
entirely from a USB drive or if a larger allocation of persistence would 
help.


Many Thanks
