 ## usage
 
+### The easier way: one FAT32 partition

 First mount your USB drive partition. I recommend using udevil so that you can write files without as root.
 
 Then run buildlive script as follows, suppose your USB is /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 is mount to /media/sdb1:

+### The more customizable way: using a FAT32 boot partition and an ext2 data partition
+
+Partition your disk as follows to create a 500MB FAT32 boot partition, and an ext2 partition using the remaining space, suppose your USB is /dev/sdb.

+
+Format the partitions:
+
+```
+sudo mkfs.msdos -F 32 /dev/sdb1
+sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb2
+```
+
+Mount them and create the directory, and we need to make the directory ``liveusb-data`` writable by the current user.
+
+```
+udevil mount /dev/sdb1 /media/boot
+udevil mount /dev/sdb2 /media/root
+sudo install -d /media/root/liveusb-data
+sudo chown $(whoami) /media/root/liveusb-data/
+```
+
+At last, make the Live USB (we install Arch and Fedora 28 in it):
+
+```
+$ ./buildlive --boot /media/boot --root /media/root arch fedora/28
+```
