I run a windows 7 machine, and use UNetbootin to create Ubuntu bootable live USB keys.

I have 1 key in particular that I would like to use entirely as a live Ubuntu key, so I can install some apps, etc...

What I am finding is that filesystem.squashfs is simply not big enough to install all the apps I need to install.

My Persistent storage is 10GB the stick is ntfs formatted (though I could change that)

My question is, how can I make the filesystem.squashfs bigger so I can install all the apps I need?

Yes, I've already tried installing Ubuntu directly to the stick, but it seems that it is machine specific

    You should be able to just install applications, which will use the persistence storage. BUT, you are booting an NTFS formatted stick? I thought syslinux needed FAT. FAT files are limited to 4G, is your persistence a partition? Please add more detail.

  • persistence is not a partition, and I was able to create and boot from it as NTFS

    It looks like you're mixing technologies. UNetbootin is great for creating LiveUSBs, but to create "an Ubuntu on a stick" you need casper-rw, not squashfs. Did you ever follow the official Ubuntu instructions for making a live persistent USB stick?
