using the splatplost .iso as a persistent installation on a removable drive? #68

I don't feel like a ticket is the right way to ask this but I'm not sure what other route to go.

Is there any way to use the .iso for splatplost as a persistent installation on a usb drive? I used Rufus on windows to create the drive and I made sure to maximize my persistent partition but when I switch back to windows and then load up arch from the USB, it's back to a blank slate of entering wifi, installing splatplost and other items, losing my display settings, etc. I did some further research and it looks like other steps need to be done that I'm not able to do to the .iso file, but it might be my lack of advanced linux knowledge leading me to falsely believe that to be true.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

As an update I tried using unetbootin to make the boot drive from the iso as it says it supports persistent storage (I had noticed that the iso page mentioned to use etcher, however the etcher page directed me to use unetbootin for a persistent instance as etcher doesn't support that feature). Unfortunately when booting to that I now get an error that indicates there's no kernel installed and reboots the system.
