Bob: You didn't provide much detail---what kind of "flash," such as USB flash drive or Compact Flash card, how the current system is installed on it, what kind of changes you are trying to save, etc.---but the short answer is, you need "persistence." See, for example, the related material at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Live_USB_creator or the many articles about installing various flavors of Linux to include persistence (for example, by using the casper-rw loopback file) on http://www.pendrivelinux.com. These techniques create a separate read-write partition on the flash drive to which one can save documents and settings. They speak to the use of USB flash drives in particular, but the principles are general ones. There is probably similar material at https://help.ubuntu.com but I haven't had enough coffee this morning to start digging there.
