    I actually prefer to run a frugal install to hard drive rather than run liveusb (usb2).
    It is faster to boot, apps open faster, reboot is faster and so is persistence/remastering.
    The whole experience seems smoother.
    My rootfs is also 1.5GB and I regularly remaster and remove old backed up rootfs, linuxfs files.

    Yes, I can see the value in that. But one of the reasons I want to setup this LiveUSB is that I use a lot of old retired computers. (Retired from everyday service in our business, so I have repurposed them). The laptop I had running antiX was used for music in the store but the hard disk is dying. I have had success using a LiveUSB to run this laptop. Also, once I get this LiveUSB setup correctly I can just plug it into another box if this laptop finally dies. If it dies I’ll just grab another retired box and plug in the LiveUSB and start playing music!

    Thanks.
