I have gotten around that by formatting with ext4 and
setting up for persistence.
Problem is, I am finding it rather difficult to get most
PC's to actually boot off a USB stick. Some do, most don't.
Eh? I have dealt with a ton of Supermicro, Asus, and other motherboard
computers and they have all worked with USB. Of course this is all hardware
post 2010 so I am guessing the age might be an issue?
Supermicro's BIOS'es are an especially big pain in the neck
(not my exact word). Most PC's will boot off a DVD though.
And NO MAC (OSx) will boot off a Live USB without jumping
though some crazy hoops.
No recent Mac comes with a DVD either.
