Unable to find persistent overlay with Fedora 9 liveCD

[metaylor]

I have created a Fedora 9 liveCD that works. However, when it boots the following message is displayed

"Unable to find persistent overlay: using temporary"

What does this mean? Is it a problem?

You should be using a latest version of liveusb-creator. Upgrade the version and rebuild the liveCD.

I executed the following the "yum update livecd-tools" command and the following message was displayed "No Packages marked for Update"

Any suggestions?

It's not a problem, it's just telling you that you have no persistent overlay (It's an option when you create the liveusb)

Personally, I find the persistent overlay mechanism to be unstable anyway and instead use a persistent home image (unencrypted). On that I store most needed rpm packages (for flash, a media player and development tools) and have an install script which runs in ~30secs. I've been booting the same liveusb stick almost daily since F10 was released and have never had a problem.

Understood. It's just that I was surprised to see no update available.

Thanks for the info
