It saves all the changes made from the read only media (cd/dvd)  its more like a save state if you have ever used a virtual machine.

Yep...that's why mentioned Puppy earlier on :-)  However, does it save
changes to things like Firefox with regard to add ons?  I bet it
doesn't.

I've sorted out a 20gb HD that I may instal a distro onto.  I don't
need much space and I certainly don't need laods of different
programs.  A text editor, a browser and then the base system should do
me so 20gb is going to be ample.  When its gets done is another
matter....
