1. Create a live-USB using files taken from a live-CD .iso file.
This is the normal mode. The program asks you which iso file and usb
stick you'd like to use, mounts both the iso and the usb, copies
files from the iso to the usb, copies syslinux files and custom
hooks from its own library to the usb device, and makes the usb
bootable with syslinux.
2. Create a live-USB using files taken from a running live session.
You can do this if you don't want to install Refracta to hard drive.
Files are copied from the running system. (/lib/live/mount/medium)
Burn the iso to a CD and boot into the live system. Then follow this
guide.
3. Update a previously prepared usb stick with a newer (or older)
image, without reformatting the stick. Lets you choose the iso file
and usb device, copies files as in #1 above, but does not reinstall
the bootloader. If the stick already contains a /live/hooks
folder, hooks are preserved and not replaced with the ones from the
program's library. This option will also work with a device that
uses GRUB to boot - it will preserve the existing /live/boot/grub
folder.
4. Run the partition editor (gparted or cfdisk) on the selected
usb device.
5. Edit the boot menu and add an entry to boot with Refracta
custom hooks. Use this if you plan to create an encrypted,
persistent /home. Run this after you've used one of the "Create"
options. You must have a linux partition ready for this,
and the script will add the menu entry with the uuid of the physical
partition. This will allow you to use the new boot entry without
having to manually add the device name to the boot line at every
boot.
Note that this will not create the encrypted /home partition. You
need to boot into the live system and run musbcrypt. (see below)
Note also that this method is separate and distinct from standard
debian-live persistence, which at this time in Debian Wheezy does
not handle encrypted partitions. This is a hack to get around that
limitation. If you want standard debian-live persistence, see the
section on persistence below.
