[Fedora-livecd-list] Disabling the Persistence Layer at boot time (LiveCD on USB)
I have two situations where I require to boot from my Fedora 9 LiveCD on usb but
temporarily disable persistence for the session (So I have a normal LiveCD session)
1. I want to boot random machines at work (So don't want the network/graphics config
stored in the persistence layer to load up)
2. The persistence layer gets corrupted and I can't boot at all unless I disable the
layer.
I have been doing this by editing syslinux.cfg and adding an entry with the overlay
parameter removed from the initrd line (Or pressing tab at boot and deleting the
parameter). This boots up ok but generates an ugly error message about not being able to
find the persistence layer.
Is there a clean way to disable persistence in a usb image created with persistence? (It
seems to me that this would be useful in any case, since most people will want to use the
livecd stick on disparate machines which cannot share common system settings in a single
persistence layer.)
