II. It would be convenient to have a Live Distro reside on a USB stick

Sorry I am not able to help you with this.
Just create a "live-rw" partition on your hard drive. This will be
picked up by live-boot as the persistence layer.
I'm missing something there. How?
To use local swap
partitions you have to use the "swapon" boot parameter. See here for
details:
http://live.debian.net/manpages/2.x/en/html/live-boot.7.html
If I read that page correctly, "swapon" is something that
has to be specified when initially creating the live image.
I was looking for a means to use a unmodified image from
debian.org .
If I can't, it is not a deal breaker as:
1. I was intending to learn how to create my own live
systems anyway.
2. I am a retiree learning the guts of Debian via a large
dose of experimentation.
Thank you
