Which file on a USB live installation made with UNetBootin persists file information?

  • 772

I created an installation of Ubuntu 11.10 using UNetBootin on a usb thumbdrive.

I've downloaded programs and installed them with apt-get so that they persist on the drive between boots.

What file stores these persisted files, if you were to look at it on a computer that had not been booted from the thumbdrive?

live-usb

    Okay after a bit of googling to figure out what I was looking for exactly...

    sudo mkdir /media/casper
sudo mount ./casper-rw /media/casper -o loop

    And now I can mount it and get back at my files again.
