Re: installing FROM a persistent live usb

Installing from a USB pen drive, as installing from the live CD, does not carry over any settings
If you can make backups or is willing to risk a new install it is the /etc folder that is to be transferred
Exactly what can be a bit tricky to say, but anything with sound and networking plus modprobe.d (folder) and modules (file)
It's a long list - alsa, pulse, sound possibly more and dhcp3, network, Network manager, resolv.conf, wpa-supplicant and probably more and last but not least the linuxmint folder
