Topic: Make a Live Persistent Entry in Unetbootin Grub Menu

I fooled around with the syslinx.cfg file and added a persistent mode to the menu. I also renumbered each of the other menu items respectively and, kept a Live boot option just in case I break the system in persistent mode and, need a clean boot to fall back on.

I would also like to make the Persistent option as the default choice with a waiting period before executing (like the default installation option does) because if I assign the default to "ubnentry2" it will execute automatically from boot [the newly added entry is entry #2 labeled "Live (persistent mode)"].

Here's a copy of my edited syslinx.cfg file, as it stands now. Any help would be appreciated, thanks smile
