Anti-x 14.3 LiveUSB features
.
Here is something that promises a lot of exciting new features:
.
A LiveUSB with initramfs treatment deriving from Knoppix minirt.gz;
a resistant fork from Debian's systemd decision;
a 140 Mb 64-bit iso to build on (among other choices); and
an organized arrangement of how-to documentation.
Architecture seems similar to Debian-Live squashfs, but
using much more up-to-date kernels.
.

What’s New?
The linuxrc bootstrap script (that lives inside the initrd.gz file)
was almost totally rewritten. We now use a non-ancient version of BusyBox
(which, combined with more modern Linux kernels) gives us access to new
and better tools. The Knoppix linuxrc script provided great inspiration
for a lot of this.
.
Live remastering
Remastering involves (perhaps among other things) the creation of a new
linuxfs file that reflects change that have been made to the system
(usually the addition or deletion of packages). We can now offer users
"one click" live remastering (for LiveUSBs and LiveHDs) that will create
a new linuxfs file at the touch of a button and automatically use that
linuxfs file on the next reboot. The user will always have the option
to rollback the change even if the new linuxfs file is corrupted and
fails to boot.

Remastering
...
The only thing the LiveUSB creator has to do to enable live-remastering
is to make sure there is enough room on the boot partition for another
linuxfs file. The standard antiX-12 linuxfs files range in size from
110 Meg to 670 Meg. The size of a new linuxfs file will depend on the size
of the original linuxfs file and also on how much has been added or subtracted.
