I was trying to use the frugal with persist_all method, and use the xtra.tgz tarball in the /antiX folder described in the thread posted on page 1 here
http://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/synch-between-live-usb-and-installed-system/
I definitely like the general idea, and got it to work as designed, but couldn’t figure out how to use it for my situation. It needs to be there on the USB before the frugal copy is made is the problem.
I was trying to figure out how I could have a way to put a tarball somewhere after the frugal is copied to the drive, and when the frugal boots it would automatically overlay the files in at boot time. Or maybe find a way to create a third overlay that loads on top of the others that I could load after booting. I am looking for a way to test something new without messing up my persistence root and home.
Any thoughts? And did you like my persist_all loopback setup? I am trying to figure a way that I can test various scenarios without needing to allocate 10 or 20 gb of SSD to each test. So if I load an antiX Lumina, Openbox, LXDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, Enlightenment, or Budgie system (all of which I have) for example, I can keep it out there in a compressed format, fully configured and ready to boot, in case someone wants to know what I did to make it work, or be able to test something else on it again 6 months later.
