My laptop runs Mandriva, but because I do end-user support for both Mandriva

I've read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo and
http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2007/11/07/i-am-fedora-and-so-can-you/, but
these seem to refer to a non-upgradable system. Since I need to be able to
use KDE 4.1 that won't suffice.
You can do updates -- the only things are
1) Consistently updating will require significant amounts of space
within the writable overlay. And the amount of space required will
increase over time -- dm-snapshot will never again write to a block
after it's done so once
Never say never. Or at least, not in this case. If you find a way to
swing a 4G overlay for an f9 system, you will never run out of overlay
space.
The problem is that with reasonable sized overlay files, the likelyhood
of blocks getting reused is small.
