I have two situations where I require to boot from my Fedora 9 LiveCD on usb 
but temporarily disable persistence for the session (So I have a normal LiveCD 
session)

1. I want to boot random machines at work (So don't want the network/graphics 
config stored in the persistence layer to load up)

2. The persistence layer gets corrupted and I can't boot at all unless I 
disable the layer.

I have been doing this by editing syslinux.cfg and adding an entry with the 
overlay parameter removed from the initrd line (Or pressing tab at boot and 
deleting the parameter). This boots up ok but generates an ugly error message 
about not being able to find the persistence layer.

Is there a clean way to disable persistence in a usb image created with 
persistence? (It seems to me that this would be useful in any case, since most 
people will want to use the livecd stick on disparate machines which cannot 
share common system settings in a single persistence layer.)
