Hi all,
This following might be naive - thanks in advance to just tell me if
it is.
I used to "convert the ISO image to a USB image using
livecd-iso-to-disk. After upgrading to Fedora 13, I thought at first
that this conversion could now be avoided since the ISO image can now
also be used on USB. But there is a caveat: the filesystem being
read-only ISO9660, it is not possible to write on such a USB stick
(whereas my previous conversion technique allows that).
Now here is the crazy idea: would it be feasible to get the best of
both worlds by switching to a read-write filesystem like UDF for
instance?
The os image is imbedded in a squashfs image so you are still stuff with
read only for that part.
UDF actually gets used for images over 4 GiB instead of iso8660.
