Thanks Aymeric,
I'm actually going through this process at the moment, your comments
help a great deal :-)

Antonios Galanopoulos said :
Or you can change the live-rw label to something else:
tune2fs -L notlive-rw /dev/sdb2
As a quick reminder, the partition based pertinence works like this:
- at boot time, the live scripts are listing the partitions found on
any storage devices on the system (external and internal).
- if a partition is found and has the name 'live-rw' you will get
persistence for the whole system (including messing around /etc)
- if a partition is found and has the name 'home-rw' you will get
persistence *only* for '/home'
- if none of the partition are called like this, then you won't get
persistence at all, so indeed, as Anton is suggesting, if you rename
the persistence partition of the Puredyne liveUSB key to something else
that the default 'live-rw', then it won't work anymore.
More radical, you can also disable persistence completely, from syslinux
or grub, edit the boot command for Puredyne and remove 'persistence',
then, nothing will get scanned during the boot process.
There also many other ways to use persistence (from disk images, "à la
nest" to using compressed snapshot of a system that can be used to only
remember changes to one single files or any selection of
files/directories) but this not yet documented and fully tested - the
brave ones can always man live-initramfs and read the persistence
section of Debian Live, then test and write about it in the wikibook.
