Did you ever get an answer to your question about saving a session and being able to reboot and have the changes remain on the rebooted USB drive.
I have asked the same question but I now see its been a year since you asked this question and I don't see that it was ever answered. fdalbor

UNETBOOTIN is a tool to help setting up some Linux distro's on USB, from it's homepage:
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Features

UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive, or it can make a "frugal install" on your local hard disk if you don't have a USB drive. It can load distributions by automatically downloading their ISO (CD image) files, or by using existing ISO files, floppy/hard disk images, or kernel/initrd files, for installing other distributions.

Most Linux distro's can be set up in different ways, typically as "Live" or "frugal install" or as "Persistent".
The "live" won't save the session, as well as the "frugal install".
The "persistent" will.

Each distro has different ways, the mentioned Puppy Linux should be installed to the USB stick:

In other words, UNETBOOTIN is a "generic" tool to help in making bootable USB's, but does not "enter" in the specific settings of each Ddistro and in the different ways they can be installed.
