Someone posted how to use a memory card (USB or another kind) to save settings between boots of a Live CD/DVD. I believe it was posted not too long ago and I thought I had kept the email, but now that I'm looking for the information, I can not find it. I've done some searching and I either get way too many hits or way too few, none of which are what I'm looking for. Does anyone remember that post and can forward that message to me? Thanks.

I'm running on my CentOS 5.2 Live CD and I just looked at all the GNOME menus. If that's something one can do from the menu, it's not intuitively obvious. If you find out how to do this, please post back to the ML.

Unless I'm missing something, you must be remembering another distro. Had some discussions on this during 5.2 live CD testing with Patrice Guay who builds the CentOS live CDs. Knoppix has a feature to save to USB, and Fedora 9 uses "persistence" to save changes from their live CD, but as of 5.2 CentOS livecd does not implement it.

Yet another option is to use Scientific Linux LiveCD/DVD:

Being a "sister" product of CentOS, SL might be a viable option for CentOS users.
