Hi Urs,

Yes

My bad.  I meant I had found a way to create the Live USB stick
with persistence.

I was following copy and paste command line instruction
that I wrote.  Included the formatting and all, so while
I was at the command prompt, I might as well run
livecd-tools too.

I also was under the mistaken impression that the GUI
ran the same command line tools for you, so I never
retested the GUI

Not yet, but I will probably this week end.

Any reason why 13.4.6 is not loaded in EPEL's repo?
