+If you want to use the remaining free space after you have installed the <filename>binary.img</filename>, you can use a partitioning tool such as gparted or parted to create a new partition on the stick. The first partition will be used by the Debian Live system.

+<para>
+After the creation of the partition you have to create a filsystem on it. One possible choice would be ext2 (ext3 isn't recommended because the journaling causes too much writes to the stick).

+If you want to use this data partition with Windows, use FAT32

+<important>Remember: Every time you install a new binary.img on the stick, all your data will be lost because the image includes a complete
+partition table.
