Q. what I mean is how can I configure my live USB key to retain the data and changes I make to it. for example lets say that I am running Linux from my usb key and install some software or drivers. Normally as soon as i power off all those changes are gone. how can i set it up so all the changes i make stay put?
i will be wanting to do this with Linux Mint if that helps.

A. Using mint just install to a usb and should save to the usb. Do not install live as it wont save settings. Just ask in the Mint forums

"Puppy linux has that built in as a feature."
Puppy can be run using frugal install (the recommended way, the os being150mb+ a save file).
Puppy can be run from a cd/dvd-r and the changes saved to the same cd.
Called multisession. The cd has to be burnt open.
Puppy can run from
cd
dvd
usb flash
usb hard drive
camera sd card
ssd drive
network
The save file can be placed and loaded on any of the above except on a none rewrite cd.
You can also have multiple save files choosing which to use at boot up.
You can boot from a cd, load system from hard drive and save settings to a sd card!!
With a frugal install you load a pristine base system every time.
Puppy can be also booted up from a cd and will then load the system from the the media frugal puppy is on.
No partitioning is required as a puppy frugal will install on a windows nfts drive, Fat32 or Ext2,3,4.

Q. How much space does it require to boot? Is there anything that I have to download onto the USB stick to make it ready? And in general, how DO you download something to a live USB? Please give me a step by step guide.

How do install mpeg decoders and flash for linux fedora 10?
Q. I am completely new to linux fedora and linux for that matter. I am running fedora from a live usb until i get these issues fixed. I apparently need to install mpeg decoders, xvid decoders, avi decoders and a flash player. Being a complete noob to linux I don't know how to go about this.
A. It looks like the decoders are not patent free and fedora will not include them. Other linux distros do allow a user to install them if they wish at their own risk.
The second link has instructions for flash.
You should search the fedora foum for more info on the codecs.
Good luck
