I burned an Ubuntu 6.06 LTS LiveCD a few weeks ago for myself, which was my second LiveCD after Knoppix, and today I set up my 1 GB flash drive so that I can save my settings from my Ubuntu LiveCD. I think I should use my 512 MB flash drive instead of my 1 GB one, but for now it really doesn’t matter that much. I bet this will prove to be useful in the future, anyways.
Also, here’s information on how to do it yourself if you’re interested: LiveCDPersistence
It’s pretty simple and fast. Note that you should only use the information under the heading “Using a Loopback File” if you want to have the information stored on your hard drive instead of your flash drive.
Update, 2007-11-04: You may not wish to do this as I’ve heard it decreases one’s flash drive’s life rapidly.
