I'm not qualified to answer this question because I've never used
Ubuntu; I've never booted from a usb key; and I'm on the gentoo-user
ml ;) buuut maybe the usb key boot idea works like a live-cd and loads
your filesystem into a RAM disk? In which case, changed you made
wouldn't actually be saved... you could add another partition to the
key for "persistent" storage perhaps?
