   Seems to fail trying to re-use the same slacklive usb stick   
   for several installs. Problem turns out to be that it fills   
   up the usb stick 100% with messages, then complains about   
   "memory" and hangs. If the usb stick is /dev/sdX and you   
   mount /dev/sdX3 /mnt/usb/  then  cd /mnt/usb/persistence/var/log/   
   then the two files  messages  and  syslog  seem to be the culprits.   
   What I did was  cat /dev/null > messages  and  cat /dev/null > syslog   
   but I haven't yet tried to use that stick again for an install.   
      
   Will the above procedure work, and let me reuse the stick for install?   
   And is there another way around the problem? I was thinking about   
   rm'ing those two files and just symlinking them to /dev/null.   
   Will that work "permanently", rather than having to empty them out   
   each time?
