[ale] LiveUSB

[Scott Castaline]

  Ok, so I got the LaCie 16GB iamaKey Flash Drive. Using livecd-creator 
with a kickstart cfg file I created my own spin of the F13 
LiveCD-i686.iso I am trying to get this image onto the key (image file 
is about 1.1GB) utilizing the balance of space as an encrypted 
partition. The only way I've gotten it to the point of booting is by 
doing a dd if=/path to image file of=/dev/device bs=8. I then tried 
creating a 2nd partition as type 83 (linux) utilizing the balance of the 
drive, and it no longer is bootable. Although I can mount it and view 
files on it, but it complains about the 2nd partition.

I have tried creating with fdisk a 2GB 1st partition and a 2nd partition 
of the balance and then formatting the first partition as ext2. I then 
used livecd-iso-to-disk /path-to-iso-file /path-to-1st-partition, and 
wound up with nothing. I've tried other methods of madness without any 
success.

Am I missing something or should I just use a 2GB flash for the 
customized live image and a separate encrypted data drive?

Sorry for dup but just realized that I forgot the ale in the subject 
line, so I wasn't sure if the original got through as I didn't get my 
bounce-back.
