How much persistent memory you set will depend on the size of the .iso and the size of your USB. Make sure you leave some so that people can use the Journal.) '''Note:''' persistent storage will save Journal items between reboots--but not after a Sugar system update with the LiveUSB Creator (in its current version). Watch this page for instructions to making your Journal persist between system updates.
