I found I had to do this and everything else, like install programs, every time I tried to run the thing; apparently because no changes were ever made to the image that was being booted. I could create files and put them on the desktop; and the next time I booted the system they were all gone. Anyone have any ideas about THAT?? !

I have used liveusb-creator with some success (particularly with Fedora images.)

Notice the "persistent storage" option on the window; if you set it to a value, then you will find that much persistent space available to your usb image.

It's been a few months since I used one of these images, but I seem to remember that you could add new packages to them that persist over reboots, and the webpage I reference above also indicates that.

I guess it must be a "feature" to have a system where everything you do disappears every time you turn it off, but I just don't get it.
