Q. what I mean is how can I configure my live USB key to retain the data and changes I make to it. for example lets say that I am running Linux from my usb key and install some software or drivers. Normally as soon as i power off all those changes are gone. how can i set it up so all the changes i make stay put?
i will be wanting to do this with Linux Mint if that helps.

A. Using mint just install to a usb and should save to the usb. Do not install live as it wont save settings. Just ask in the Mint forums

"Puppy linux has that built in as a feature."
Puppy can be run using frugal install (the recommended way, the os being150mb+ a save file).
Puppy can be run from a cd/dvd-r and the changes saved to the same cd.
Called multisession. The cd has to be burnt open.
Puppy can run from
cd
dvd
usb flash
usb hard drive
camera sd card
ssd drive
network
The save file can be placed and loaded on any of the above except on a none rewrite cd.
You can also have multiple save files choosing which to use at boot up.
You can boot from a cd, load system from hard drive and save settings to a sd card!!
With a frugal install you load a pristine base system every time.
Puppy can be also booted up from a cd and will then load the system from the the media frugal puppy is on.
No partitioning is required as a puppy frugal will install on a windows nfts drive, Fat32 or Ext2,3,4.

How many Linux distros do people usually put on a Live USB?
Q. Is it possible to put more than one Linux distros on a Live USB? And if you do, how do you choose which one you want to use at start up? Does it look like the dual-boot screen if you had a dual boot on your computer?
A. It depends on the size of the usb and if it can handle more then one os.
Most people just slap one distro on their usb though.
