So in February my computer crashed and after a bit of hassle, I installed 8.10 to a flash drive in early April. Then, this week I had access to a good enough network to upgrade to 9.04, thinking it would be much better and it is, with one huge problem – the changes I make don't get saved upon reboot. (I wish I had tested this sooner) I have heard that there is some work around involving partitioning the drive in ext2 format with a specific name. The only problem is this is probably for the full install, not for the live session. I don't want to do a full install to my flash if I don't absolutely need to as it takes up too much space and I want to use the space to install more programs/features. Anyone have any idea why my settings are not saved? I guess the first thing I'll try is reinstalling the live OS, but failing that, anyone have any suggestions?
