The Fedora LiveOS system allows for persistent storage in 3 locations:

The Fedora LiveOS system allows for persistent storage in 3 locations:

# An all-purpose, persistent overlay - a compressed, write-once, fixed-size file space that will save updates and changes to the LiveOS image (Activities, operating system changes, anything written in the LiveOS file space).

# An all-purpose, persistent overlay - a write-once, fixed-size file space that will save updates and changes to the LiveOS image (Activities, operating system changes, anything written in the LiveOS file space).

# Persistent home folder - a re-writable, re-sizable (with difficulty), uncompressed, optionally-encryptable, file space for anything that goes in the Learner's /home/ folder (all the Sugar Activities, logs, and good stuff).  A persistent home folder is an option that may be selected at the time of installation of the LiveOS image (although with some effort, one could manually create a home.img filesystem in /LiveOS/ and move the /home/ folder to it). This installation option is only available through the script, '[[fedora:livecd-iso-to-disk|livecd-iso-to-disk]]'. The Windows and Fedora 'Live USB Creator' installers do not provide this option as of July 2011.

# Host device file space - this is the USB stick or SD card file system that is outside of the LiveOS file tree, but which is accessible through the /mnt/live folder mount point of a booted LiveOS installation.  There, one finds the boot configuration files and anything else one had on the device before loading the SoaS image.  One may save files here without consuming the other, limited file spaces. (This file space is limited by the device capacity).
