I am going to guess that you have heard about the persistent overlay that Fedora 8*, 9, and 10 supports on a USB flash drive.
*Fedora 8 does not support persistent overlay but can still be installed on a flash drive.
So what is “persistent overlay“?
The short answer is, persistent overlay creates a persistent home directory that will remain in the environment even after reboot.
So what does that mean?
Well it simply means that as the live user you can download, save, create, and edit files in your home directory and they will be there the next time you start up the live Linux distribution. This means anything on your desktop or in your pictures, music, documents, or any other location in your home directory.
