You can't update the OS with persistence mode.. Try to install too many things... Then it will mess up all things.... persistence mode is only useful and stable when storing settings...

I installed Ubuntu on my 4GB Flash drive with casper persistence, but I hated it. The read/write speeds totally mess up the experience. Even browsing becomes a huge PITA.

but guys it takes about1:30 to 2 hrs to install in usb drive

Yep! The installation stops(kind of) at around 95% for 40 or so minutes and then suddenly it says installation completed. :)

I installed Backtrack on my USB drive using UNetBootin and another 8 GB temporary USB drive with the ISO. :)
