John, I believe the simplest way is to use the usb-creator in ubuntu and
check the persistence box.. The loopback file goes on your usd drive.
What happens is that you start a live session, save some files, and then
the next time you boot the live session from your usb stick, those files
are still there (because they were written to the usb stick).
Normally an image can't do that type of thing. But having the image on
rewritable media means we can :-)
Make sense? I'm trying to dig up some more info as well about how others
have done it in the past outside of the usb creator.

Hello QA team.
I've been able to do a live test successfully but not a live
persistence session. Therefore, I found some guidance from this wiki
page <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence>.
But I'm confused with the necessity of a loopback file. It says that
the loopback file must be created in the root directory of a
partition, but in which? my devel computer or my mac? Is it ok to put
the file on my ext3-formatted usb stick and use that for the
persistence testcase?
Thanks.
