A Couple Live USB Questions

[cmccmc]

I was planning on making a live usb with the fedora 13 alpha on it but I have a few questions. Firstly, can I install updates just like a normal installation? Secondly how big of a flash drive do you recommend. I read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo but I couldn't find the answers to these questions.
Thanks

Hi,

As for your first question I am not sure, and as for the second question I suggest something of at least 1GB. Since F8 I've been creating liveUSBs in 1GB drives and they work fine, I don't see why they can not work in F13. Of course if you intend to update the system and do stuff on it you might want a bigger USB drive.

Good luck,
Joe.

Hi,

Both your questions are answered in that wiki page. See the section on system requirements and data persistence.

Firstly, can I install updates just like a normal installation?
The wiki is technically correct, but in my experience, I end up wanting to install too many updates, so I run out of space and/or corrupt the persistent storage file. My solution was to get a higher capacity USB stick and do a full install onto it.
