Haha nice.
How are you running it? I've been doing it from a thumb drive. I tried both vmware player and virtual box but the installer errors out.

Can someone tell me how you update linux if you are running it from a thumb drive? Do I just update as normal? Will it forget everything once I reboot?

Can any of you guys answer the above question? I can't find much info about updating. It just says boot from the thumbdrive and use, but nothing about updating.

How you update it depends on what distro it is. But yeah it being on a thumbdrive shouldn't affect how you do so.

Does it make a difference if it is a live distro rather than an installation? I thought you couldn't make changes to a SquashFS file system? Though I could be completely wrong.

This.
Depends how the thumb drive installation was created. Some of the automated toola have an option to partition the drive for the boot volume and storage. Not sure if that works for updates.

Ah yeah, I think I was doing it wrong! Imagine that.
So this time I booted from the thumb drive and chose install and installed it to a second thumb drive. Now it should see it as a normal installation and not a live install. Thanks for all the info!

Good point! Describing it as /installed/ to a thumbdrive I assumed non-live but yeah you may be right.

Except he didn't say installed.
This is what happens while I try to think while watching eurovision.

Dirty boy.
There was an interesting amount of boobage on show during that.
(We had it on while having a party and playing
telestrations
. It's a hilarious game with as much boobage as you care to draw).
