All_esp atenere:
Thank you.
All? info I've read re. persistence usb installls say can't update/change kernel.
2. An aside: c4clrs Respin is an altered lubuntu.
mkusb didn't recognize as Deb or Ubuntu, gave warning.
I went ahead anyway.
3. Reinstalled 2 more times as per your penalty...
Thanx, but I installed it, was not given the opportunity, uname & passwd evidently set, I'm stuck.
This was not a problem w/2 other installs on harddrive - just persistent install (w/grub as above).
Can you help?
IN LUBUNTU 18.04 Respin c4c, persistent install, passwd set by install but not given to me.
So, as a result, no sudo access; updates, installs, etc.
Grub menu for persistent different than hard drive installs, doesn't match any of the solutions for resetting passwd found here and several...
