USB flashdrive install of a live-linux distribution using a casper-rw filesystem. Both the Windows and Ubuntu installation programs to install a downloaded ISO file to the USB stick use a casper-rw filesystem limited to at most 4Gb. That is too small for the kind of installation (Ubuntu+TeX-live). Is there a way to increase the size of the casper-rw filesystem? The USB stick has plenty of room (16Gb total size).

  • I believe that's a limitation of fat32. Would a solution that enables you to have this software into the readonle part of the liveusb to maximise space on the persistent part of the drive be ok.?
