The “livecd-iso-to-disk” command appears to work OK when loading Fedora9 on-to  a USB thumb-drive with “persistence” option (with an appropriately sized overlay – I used 1 GBY overlay). Custom changes to file-system and installation of new applications appears to survive subsequent  reboot sessions.

However, while attempting to install the DogTag system on the “persistent” USB, I run unto trouble getting the Directory Server to startup properly. The log-file indicates the configuration session went OK – but the resulting instance does not start (or remain on running state) –  the log-file does not indicate any errors!

Have anyone on the list been successful getting the Directory Server  (and DogTag PKI) to install on a “persistent” live USB? I am using fedora9 version 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 – downloaded a few days ago. Any comments & suggestions appreciated!
