Remember guys if you know something people might want to add it to the
wikiI can't find a "wishlist" there! Where do you want us to add things?
Would be nice if you add something like how to change keyboard configuration to non US-keyboard here:

Working on quite a few things atm but who like the sound of compressed persistence ?
I would like to see a working persistent HDD install

I would like to see a working persistent HDD install

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
You can just install the standard debian kernel if you like ? I have got to admit i haven't handled the kernel options well. Work in progress
