I plan to use the live USB for a while and then try an install on an old Thinkpad. Wish me lck.6. At usb boot menu screen choose root persistence
7. You will be prompted for a new root and user password
8. In desktop, use the meta-installer(Synaptic?) to install a couple of apps eg Clementine, minitube (nothing too big)
9. DO NOT REBOT FROM THE MENU. For changes to save on next boot, you MUST run the Remastercc application -> Save root persistence.
10. Once that has finished, reboot as usual and again choose root persistence in the menu.
11. You should now have the apps you installed in 8 in the menu.
+1check out the help (the big question mark on the toolbar). there is a persistence section.
