I need to create a particular live usb

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I have been looking at the command line options
over on

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-and-using-a-live-in...

and I am confused.

I need to create a live usb with the following:

8 GB flash drive (I will do a dd /dev/zero wipe first)
efi boot
safe boot if possible
Mate (I have the iso)
small persistent /home directory

and

I need to install xrdp on it and have xrdp persist
between reboots

Any idea what the command line should be?

Many thanks,
-T

livecd-iso-to-disk --format --efi --overlay-size-mb 1024 --home-size-mb 
1024 Fedora-mate.iso /dev/sdc

Change the iso name, flash device, and sizes as needed and add 
"--unencrypted-home" if you don't want the home directory encrypted.
Install xrdp after you boot it and it will be persistent.
I don't know what you mean by "safe boot" though.

Oops, that should have been "secure boot"

That just works since the Fedora grub and kernel are signed.
