How I got Resident mode to boot.

Like a lot of people, when I went to boot resident mode it just hung on the remix logo. It turns out that when the iso / img file writes to a usb it doesn't leave enough space for the data.img file which acts as a disk space for the OS much like a live boot of a linux distribution with persistence. I'm on linux, i'm sure there are ways of doing the same thing on OSX and Windows. First I used gparted to format my usb stick FAT32 and set the bootflag on which can be done with some commands and a unix terminal for OSX. It looks like you will need at least 8GB of space for the partition. Then all you have to do is extract the contents of the remix iso / img file into the usb stick. Do not write the remix iso / img file because you will be stuck in the same situation. I have noticed others have edited their grub.cfg file to allow storage of the data.img file on another partition made using the free space on the usb stick as well. That didn't work for me though.
