Hello, I've got a quick question:
does the persistence feature of usb-creator save all changes, including package installs or just some of those? Will a 4gb pendrive be enough to host a livecd image plus some movie playing packages?
And in the case persistence doesn't remember package installs can I install Ubuntu onto the usb key and would said 4gb be enough?

Hi, jaen-ni-rin. Welcome to Ubuntu Forums!

I believe the persistence feature of USB Creator does include all file changes and installed packages. And a 4GB flash drive should be enough for Ubuntu and movie playback packages. As for "host[ing] a livecd image", do you mean what USB Creator puts on there or an ISO file you add afterwards? If you want to add an ISO, you'll probably need at least an 8GB flash drive.

You only need 700MB flash drive to usb USB-Creator. But I would recommend at least 1 GB if you want to install packages.
