> which installation method you are talking about (full installation or Live USB installation)? I'm now looking at Live USB installation so I can apply and retain updates (fixes) > what you would like to do with this USB installed system (just work with it or use it as installation medium)? just work with it for now. I think I can see what you are getting at. If I spend time customising the Live USB installation (as well as applying fixes) then to avoid redoing the whole customisation then it would be nice to install to a hard disk from the Live USB installation. But I must admit to not thinking (and speculating) that far ahead.
Thanks for the reply. Sounds like 3.2 Final live ISO has not got the fix for Dirty Cow. However, I've just seen how to install the ISO onto a USB memory stick and can then apply any updates and save back to the memory stick. Seems the way to go.

I could not see an easy way to confirm whether or not the Live ISO included the Dirty COW fix. I was thinking maybe the release notes would list the kernel modules and their versions but I could find such information.
