Hello All !
I just installed Kali Linux on a bran new USB 3.0 stick, and it works really well. It runs very quickly from the stick, so nice that I almost don't see the difference from running from a hard-drive (I not doing anything very I/O intensive though). That new USB 3.0 pen-drive has 150 Mb/s read speed, and 70 Mb/s write speed (according to the maker) and I think that's what really makes a difference.
Btw, I created the Live USB directly from Mac OS by following the instructions here : How to create a bootable USB stick on OS X (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx). The main difference with the steps on the Kali Live USB install (http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-live-usb-install) page resides in converting the .iso file to a .img file before copying it with dd on the stick. (and btw, this extra step could be mentionned on the Kali Live USB install page).
Anyway, it's working now with a persistence partition that I would like to mount automatically each time I boot on the key instead of adding the "persistence" string at the end of the boot command.
Where can I change that boot line ? I tried finding a grub.cfg or menu.lst file on the key, no success, and I'm not super familiar with the boot sequence on such a Linux system.
Thanks for any help,
Paul-Henri
