In the mean time the general commands to create a USB key with persistence can be seen in the wiki here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LiveOS_image#Merge_overlay_into_new_image
So if you had an 8 GB USB key and wanted to make a persistant storage space you could do the following:
livecd-iso-to-disk --format --home-size-mb 1024 --overlay-size-mb=1024 --overlay-size-mb=1024 CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1511.iso /dev/sdb
This would create a disk with a home partition which you can store stuff up to 1GB and an overlay which can handle up to 1GB of changes which after that is full would need to have the Merge ovelary done.

Haven't had a chance to test the guy in any customer's machines. I like to keep up to date with Live USB so that it will work on my customer's new machines. So far, no problem with fc23. It still seems to boot everywhere, even on excruciatingly weird MAC's.
Thanks for sharing, this is really cool to know. Do you also have persistence? Performance-wise what's your feel (of course I imagine it depends a lot on the use case and scenario..)
I'm rather interested about this scenario so it's would be great if you cared to share some more info / experience.

Hi Lorenzo,
As far as I can tell, it is the same. You can get more space if you use the command line to create the stick. But you still have a 4 GB persistence limit, but you can get a larger home directory. Would you like my notes on such?
Thanks Todd. Well, if you're willing to share it would definitely be interesting to have a look :)
Lorenzo.
I got really busy. I will write back in a couple of days.
