v1.98a Beta changes are:
Another issue is that the sample .mnu files usually only contain only one menu entry, whereas the original menu may contain other menu entries for safe mode and other options.
Also, the 'cheat code' parameters may be changed in later versions, which means that a newer sample .mnu file is needed.
The new .isopersist file extension in E2B v1.98 should avoid these issues, but it can only be used with ubuntu-based ISOs which understand the 'persistent' parameter and recognise the casper-rw volume name as the persistent volume.
Suitable ISOs which I have tested successfully include ubuntu, linuxmint, StartOS, peppermint, cublinux, elementaryos, linuxlite, lubuntu, DrWeb and zorin.
All that you need to do is create the -rw persistence file using RMPrepUSB and rename the .iso file extension to .isopersist. No .mnu file is needed. e.g.
It is important to realise that the .isopersist file will be permanently modified by E2B. as it replaces the 'quiet splash' key words in the menu file inside the ISO, with the cheat code 'persistent'.

.isopersist file exension details
Currently, to enable persistence with a linux livecd, you need to find a suitable sample .mnu file from the \_ISO\docs\Sample mnu files folder. Then you will need to copy and edit the .mnu file in several places.Another issue is that the sample .mnu files usually only contain only one menu entry, whereas the original menu may contain other menu entries for safe mode and other options.
Also, the 'cheat code' parameters may be changed in later versions, which means that a newer sample .mnu file is needed.
The new .isopersist file extension in E2B v1.98 should avoid these issues, but it can only be used with ubuntu-based ISOs which understand the 'persistent' parameter and recognise the casper-rw volume name as the persistent volume.

All that you need to do is create the -rw persistence file using RMPrepUSB and rename the .iso file extension to .isopersist. No .mnu file is needed. e.g.
- \ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64-rw (same name as ,isopersist but with -rw suffix)
- \_ISO\LINUX\ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.isopersist
It is important to realise that the .isopersist file will be permanently modified by E2B. as it replaces the 'quiet splash' key words in the menu file inside the ISO, with the cheat code 'persistent'.
