Hi All,

I just created my first bootable Live CD flash drive
with Fedora Live USB Creator.  I gave it 2 GB of
Persistent Storage.  I burned to the stick.

       Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso


Questions:

1) when I boot from the flash drive, if I install
anything, such as Firefox, will it stay installed or
is it volatile?

2) my motherboard does not support USB boot devices.
Is there a way to get KVM to boot from it?

3) the stick is USB 2 with 24 MB/s read and 20 MB/sec
write.  How long do you think it should take to
boot?  Any faster than a DVD drive?


Hopefully I will not have to wait for a customer's
computer to test this.  Maybe the next one I
build (got three coming up).

I have had the expeience of DVD drives on new el-cheap-o
HP desktops breaking on me when I try to boot from
a real Live CD.  Very frustrating.  And the customer never
wants to replace the thing as they don't use it
or even know what it is for.

Many thanks,
-T
