    The simple solution is to boot with persistence *disabled* and then download and use the version of live-usb-maker from my git repo: http://github.com/BitJam/live-usb-maker When you clone with this version, it will copy the persistence files as long as they are not in use. This feature was added to help people who are the bind you find yourself. They need more room to do a remaster but they don’t want to lose their changes in persistence.

    You need to disable persistence (or only use dynamic root persistence) to use this feature because we will not copy an active file system because that would be a bad thing to do.

    Thanks BitJam, yes, very helpful. I will try this.

    Am I correct in assuming that I should boot from my LiveUSB (the one with no room) and then use a *second* USB stick as the target of the LUM? Does it matter if I use a 16GB USB as the target is my current stick is 8GB?
