I can't remember if the Startup Disk Creator in Ubuntu creates a LiveDisk that saves settings, files and installed apps. If it does, great! If it doesn't, can someone point me to a utility that will do this? Thanks.

Does Startup Disk Creator save settings and files?

Looking at the Startup disk creator's Help file, section "Requirements" its states quote:
Doesn't say anything specifically about saving settings, just data.The USB drive capacity should minimally be large enough to hold the
contents of the Ubuntu download image and any additional data you
plan to store. The minimum recommendation is 1 GB, however 2 GB is suggested.
Anyone with SDC experience?

The thing I love about experience is that it's such an honest thing.

I guess that about answers my question. I guess I should've looked a little harder. Thanks.
Edit: The help file also lists Persistence as a feature.

Perhaps I spoke too soon. I created a LiveUSB with the Startup Disk Creator but the two options at the bottom, 'allocate free space to save data' was not available. I booted up the liveUSB and started doing updates which seemed to go fine. Then I went to install the restricted extras and it said there wasn't enough space in /apt/cache(?). This is a 4GB flash drive by the way. I thought about installing straight from disk to the flash drive, but I read that /tmp will run up r/w cycles and could damage the flash drive......

Then you have to choose to "store in reserved extra space" (the casper file), this also saves your network settings, FF settings, etc ...
Don't ask what your company can do for you.

That's the thing, "store in reserved extra space" is not an option. It's all greyed out.
