[Fedora-livecd-list] boot issues follow up

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I have been using my "Dead Stick" (my wife's name for my direct
install stick) in almost every customer's machine that I get a
chance.  So far, not a single computer has failed to boot.
Yipee!  (I did have to change a line in grub.cfg to use my UUID.)

Wednesday it even booted perfectly in a Lenovo T510, which the
live USB refuses.  (Used my dead stick to remove a GPT partition
on a G-Drive.)

Since I used the exact ISO on the Dead Stick as the Live USB
and the Live CD always boots, the problem I do believe is
isolated to the Live USB creation procedure.

And even though Red Hat "says" it will support EL 6 till
2020, they have stopped supporting things like this.  See
     https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220107
So poop!  (KVM is even a bigger pain in the neck with
the loss of support on EL6)

But, the dead stick boots faster than the live USB and
I still have 70% of my 16 GB left over.  (I even have Libre
Office installed on it to show M$ customers that I can still
retrieve their documents off a corrupted hard drive.)
The stick is USB3, but so far I have only booted off USB2.
I take than back, my shop FC21 is USB3 and oh did it boot
like the wind.

Yesterday, I yum'ed the printer config utility into
the stick at a customer's site to print out a document
and I used the nt reg utility to reset another customer's
NT Admin password and get off a non-existent domain server.
And I check another customer's SMART drive status.  (Hard
drive was fine: he had junkware.)

And I have been transferring things off and on my stick to
my base systems by mounting the sticks ext4 file system.
It is so stinkin' convenient!

This dead stick is so stinkin' useful I'd be here
all day carrying on about it.

Nobody got to see the bounding cows though.  Rats.

Everyone has been very decent and gracious helping me along
to getting my Dead Stick working.  Thank you, I sincerely
do appreciate it.

I took good notes, if anyone has a question.
