The changes I make to my live session don't get saved upon reboot

[Faizan Kazi]

dude things have changed... to make the live "install" persistent (i.e. save
your changes over different sessions) you need to mess around with it a bit:

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/live-ubuntu-810-usb-persistent-install-windows/
this is for 8.10, you might want to look up a new tutorial for 9.04

but the first method I try, and the one that works without fail is to boot
up into 9.04 using the live cd, insert a usb flash drive with at least 2gb
space and go to "System >> Administration >> USB startup disk creator" where
it asks you how much space you want to set for a persistent install, I
usually give it like 1 to 2 gb so all the stuff I install stays in memory :)

hope this helps!
