I would like to see a working persistent HDD install  Wink

I don't know how to show you, but i commented my solution a few messages back.

Currently the installer fails when you begin the grub install, this required me  booting off a ubuntu disk, mounting the hard drive image of the linuxcoin install, and installing grub from within ubuntu. then when i booted the HD, i had to manually boot linuxcoin (using the directions i posted), once the HD install booted, i had to modify the PAX security flags for 3 of the the grub tools, allowing me to properly run update-grub to complete the install.

Its not extremely complicated, but it is complicated by the PAX/selinux which is why I am requesting an option to include an unsecured kernel, or possibly just a path to remove it ourselves.

hope that helps...

btw: not using persistence on a rw hard drive (the rw is read-write and we don't need to deal with persistence), persistent is only required on a non-writable file system, such as a live-cd.iso
