Persistence question for the Live CD guy

[ToddAndMargo]

Dear Xfce Live CD Guy,

Reference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1230460

I can find Live Install on the desktop when I burn to
a DVD or a USB.  But only on the USB if I have not
enabled "persistence" (--overlay-size-mb and/or --home-size-mb)

Is this on purpose?

Many thanks,
-T

"persistence" doesn't works very well anyway and I have
found it much easier just to directly install to a
flash drive, so no big deal on this question, I am
just curious.

No, not that I know of.

It depends on image you are using. All the official Fedora Xfce images
use our kickstart that has:

# Show harddisk install on the desktop
sed -i -e 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/' /usr/share/applications/liveinst.desktop
mkdir /home/liveuser/Desktop
cp /usr/share/applications/liveinst.desktop /home/liveuser/Desktop

in them. So, on those it should appear all the time. 
Not sure why it wouldn't with persistance.

Hi Kevin,

Probably because I am using the version from of livecd-tools
from EL6.  It is sorely out-of-date.

Thank you for the reply!
