Once you login to your USB spin, su to root  (should need no password)


Below is an example from Knoppix live CD:


dd if=/dev/zero  of=/mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img bs=1024k count=1024
          Change the value of count to reflect however much persistent
storage you would like
          if you USB stick has space available for it.
mke2fs -m 0 -F /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img

The ram based root file system on you USB might have a different mount point
such as
/mnt/sysimage

I am not sure of what the directory path should be for a Fedora live's
persistent storage,
so I offer only an example below:

mkdir /mnt/sysimage/persist

dd if=/dev/zero  of=/mnt/sysimage/persist/data.img bs=1024k count=1024

 mke2fs -m 0 -F /mnt/sysimage/persist/data.img

Next time you reboot, every time you modify something in /etc or /home in
the memory based file system, it will be automatically reflected in the
persistent storage.


Good luck,

JD
