Need assistance with USB boot persistence?
I've been attempting to set up a USB boot for Mint Linux. A friend suggested using Rufus, which worked well initially but reset the system after shutdown. After some online research, I discovered Persistence is required. I've tried various commands without success and saw suggestions for apps that claim to enable persistent boot, though I'm not keen on installing extra software. If needed, I might consider alternatives like Ubuntu.
There are many wikis and tutorials available for setting up persistence. Several distros are designed for USB use, including options that can be customized at http://puppylinux.com/ and http://tinycorelinux.net/. This particular version was developed by the US DoD. The website includes a security exception since the US military issues their own certificates. Tails is optimized for tor network usage, and you can find more details at https://tails.boum.org/.
