What am I missing? It seems the last post mentions that persistent partitions stopped working. dev/sdb4 does mount as /cdrom when booted normally, when booted “toram” does not mount at all, which is expected.
But the casper-rw partition that’s “tacked” or “ghosted” onto the end of the usb device (/dev/sdb3) never mounts, and any changes I make (text files scattered about in various locations) don’t keep between reboots. It boots normally, whether I also add “toram” or not (though “toram” succeeds in loading entirely into ram). It does not actually seem to be keeping persistence, however. Once I select the Linux Mint entry in the boot menu, I hit escape at the boot options to enter my own options, and type “persistent” (no quotes) before the - (I put a space afterwards as is standard). I created a persistence file as instructed (2 GB).

Hi, trying to build multi-boot USB with Windows install sources and a persistent Linux Mint 18 64-bit (Ubuntu variant). More details about these options can be found in the. For non-boot critical drivers, such as Wireless/WLan, LAN, Video or Sound drivers, a good idea is to use (Stand Alone Driverpack utility), a proven and reliable solution from the DriverPacks team. The latter could be useful to load custom USB 3.0 drivers or SATA/AHCI/RAID ones. 3) (Optional) In advanced options you could change folder and boot menu name, make Q-Dir File Explorer launch before start of Setup and add a folder with custom boot critical drivers to be loaded.
