Thanks - I've just realised my first install on usb had no persistence file allocation, so that's why no changes were stored.
And a confession: I'm dipping my toes into linux by using a vanilla ubuntu install (ubuntu-12.04.2) and building a Pure data installation so I can test software for diy muscle sensors<http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/projects/xth-sense/#get-started>. In retrospect I probably should have gone the ubuntu studio route, but will no doubt do so if this experiment pans out. So far I must say I'm enjoying ubuntu, especially the fresh change seeing that logo pop up instead of windows.
