Currently, the liveUSB images produced by the distribution constructor are non-persistent. IE, they can't be added to after creation and have the changes persist across a reboot. If you want to customize your liveUSB image, you'll need to make those customizations at image creation time using the distribution constructor. At least until someone gets around to creating a persistent liveUSB configuration and integrating those changes. Cheers, -- Glenn
