If you want to use the same live installation for a long period of time, I would recommend just installing directly to the USB stick instead of using the live ISO. With Tumbleweed you can do this by burning the net-install ISO (not the DVD ISO) to a USB stick and then once you have booted it, simply tell it to install to the USB drive as opposed to your main disk and install as usual. -- "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." - Attributed to Albert Einstein
