   There are 2 ways of getting BeleniX on USB key. One is usbdump which is the
   equivalent of a livecd but on a USB key. The other is actually
running the installer
   and installing to USB attached storage.

   From what you have mentioned, I can see that you have used usbdump. This is
   basically a liveusb that does not partition the storage. You can
store whatever you
   want in /.cdrom but settings are not preserved since home directory
is in ramdisk.
   Session persistence feature was implemented but not yet integrated
into the distro.
   In addition support is needed with the usbdump case to run custom
scripts at boot.
   All these things should be in the upcoming 0.7.2 release.

   You can try using the installer to actually install to an USB
attached key, though
   we haven't yet experimented with that approach so you will have to
try it out and
   see how it goes.
