Thank you,  thank you.

Finally, I'm able to see that changes will "persist" after the 
reboot of an XO, which was booted off an USB stick.

It was a long struggle to get this working - but with the help of 
the participants on the fedora-olpc-list it ended successfully.

Thanks:  Chris, Mathieu, Jerry, everyone.
