[Bug 84591] Re: livecd/liveusb persistent mode doesn't work

[Per]

When building a custom LiveCD adding `export PERSISTENT="Yes"` in
`/etc/casper.conf` works.

Bootable USB-sticks should be fixed by editing the
`/boot/grub/grub.conf` that you will find on your USB-stick. Replace the
following part

```
menuentry "Try Ubuntu without installing" {
	set gfxpayload=keep
	linux	/casper/vmlinuz.efi  file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash --
	initrd	/casper/initrd.lz
}
```
with
```
menuentry "Try Ubuntu without installing" {
	set gfxpayload=keep
	linux	/casper/vmlinuz.efi  file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash persistent --
	initrd	/casper/initrd.lz
}
```
(the new thing here is the `persistent` flag).

Title:
  livecd/liveusb persistent mode doesn't work

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  feisty fawn 20070210 and 20070211 persistent mode doesn't work.
  Did rsynch, verified MD5 sums, booted, created casper-rw, rebooted persistent, copied a file over the local lan to the Desktop and it didn't persist on the next persistent boot.  Repeated 3 times on 20070210 to make sure.

  Tried precisely the same actions on 20070207 and it works just fine.

  Big clue: when booting persistent, Dapper, Edgy, Feisty 20070207 do
  not show casper-rw icon on the desktop.  20070210 and 11 both show the
  icon when booted "persistent" option, and both don't do persistent.
