Actually, I don't think it'd be as hard as one would think, though depending on how much reliability it may not be the best. Already, LiveCDs create RAM disks which store any modified files in RAM (usually utilizing something like UnionFS or AUFS, I think). All you'd have to do is dump this RAM disk to a file on the specified drive, then look for it on bootup and, if found, move it back to RAM. This is what Puppy's scripts do, I think, though they also do a lot more than just this, and, like I said earlier, this may not be the most reliable method without certain safety procedures being put in place.
