USB sticks have a limited number of write cycles after which they might fail. If you still want to persist files, partition the USB stick using fdisk/cfdisk. Keep the second partition for persisting data. Install the live linux distribution in the first partition. After booting into the live linux version, format the second partition as ext(x) (or FAT32 if you want to exchange files with a windows box). Later you can manually mount the partition. You can create a symbolic link from the home directory to the mounted partition.
