Argh.
I'm so close I can taste it.
I couldn't let go of the issue surrounding live iso/ usb distro use.
I have been plugging away at the conundrum ...
This is the problem.
After the entirety of scratchbox and the sdk is installed (regardless if it is for bora, diablo or fremantle)
the issue is thus.
and the issue is more far reaching than I initially assumed.
So some input here would be helpful guys.
Since my brain is goo from:
keeping 3 separate platforms (bora, diablo, fremantle) in my head along with all the devel. tools and environs specific to each and making them all work properly in LMDE2Betsy.

I know I am close...really...really really close.
But I can't see it.

Here is the problem...
After a ton of looking at the problem...and it isn't pinned to some inadequacy or failing in "Systemback" ...or any other type of cloning or usb/dvd/sd card live distro creation tool (I know of)...
there are multiple mount points inside the betsybf32 the betsyd32 and the betsyf32.
this "multiple" is due to the presence of scratch and the sdk of course.
Soooo...whenever some decent program tries to create a live distro from it or clone it (from inside the running instance of betsy~32)...
It'll clone or write the iso..but it doesn't and won't capture the additional mount points..
Soooo...you have a perfectly fine copy ...without scratchbox and the sdk at all ..inside the copy.

Perhaps it is apparent what I'm missing...but I cannot see it.
Likewise...I'm not entirely sure there is a live usb creation tool nor a cloning tool that can handle creating from a partition with multiple mount points inside.

Perhaps "outside" the system is the only way...with having the system not running and then execute such cloning and or live distro tools? And pray the process takes...
ie: clone the partition using Parted Magic on a bootable usb.

Sooo....if someone can point out what is staring me in the face that I cannot see, orif anyone has suggestions, ideas, or can point to programs or software which "can" do what is needed...
it would be appreciated.

edit : At the moment I'm seeing what comes of cloning and image creation via Parted Magic.
I'll post results afterward.
