I'm sorry. To my defense, I must say that I interpreted your "Looks like

My thought was that we may get valuable input from that mailing-list

live.persist is better. And the dot is probably not a good idea, now
when I think about it. Easier to get right so you don't mount the media
on / instead whatever the list file says.
