That would re-create the "/LiveOS/overlay-LIVE-AA00-0383" file, thus
wiping out the changes made prior to the reboot. I'd remove that from
the olpc.fth file.
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.
