I installed ubuntu and another os on a 64gb flash drive and allocated 20gb for saving files and settings on ubuntu(live persistence), but im confused as to how it works. When i boot ubuntu it asks to "try" or "install alongside current os". If every time i select to just "try" wont that reset itself every time? i want to be able to have everything i do in ubuntu saved on my flash drive. any and all help is appreciated.

If you have persistent storage set up then "try Ubuntu without installing" won't reset your installation. That is the option you want to select.

    yumi lets you choose how much storage you want for ubuntu but is there a step beyond that, that i need to do because i tested the "try" mode and nothing saved.

  • it does allow persistent storage. Multiboot only if you create 2 partitions yourself, then install one on each partition.
