If so that is a shame - it would be useful to be able to add packages
to the liveUSB....and have them stick.
If you add an overlay partition (similar to how you add a persistent home
partition), you can install updates and new software and have it persist.
You don't recover the space from the initial live image, so you probably
want to get a fresh live image after enough time. But you can also do
that without overwriting your persistent home partition.
