Okay, so do you mean that you are actually installing your system to a USB
stick, or that you are copying the iso image to it, and using it to boot like
a live CD or DVD?
I did a quick search (in response to your earlier question), and it seemed to
indicate that "Persistent Changes" had something to do with running a live
system. I don't normally run a live disc, except sometimes for
troubleshooting; I generally go straight to installation.
And what I described about installing to a USB stick meant that I actually run
my computer from the USB. My aim is to have a complete bootable, running
system, along with a home folder, on a flash drive; so that I can take it
anywhere and (theoretically, at least) boot almost any computer with it.
When I boot up, I never see "Persistent Changes" in my menu choices (although
I've heard about it). I can do a little research and see what I discover.
Once I sort out my desktop, I can try installing Slax a USB, then see if I
can figure out how "Persistent Changes" works.

Is this for when you are using a live CD or DVD?
Am I right?
Bill
No, just a standard Slax install on a USB stick. "Persistent Changes"
does not compute on CD or DVD.
Glen
PS. If you have a spare USB stick, I think you will be impressed with
the latest Slax as an alternative to your FrankenDebian. G.
