live usb persistence

Dunno if this is the place to ask, but how do I get Live USB Fedora Persistence? I have a Sandisk Cruzer 8GB.. I'm gonna end up removing that U3 thing that does nothing for me since I don't always use Windows, and anyhow, I can install it when it's FAT32 partitioned, but even when setting the persistence file at 3.9GB it never ever has persistence. Is this a bug? I've googled for days and find nothing, and even in the forums I find nothing and I'm not new to the internet. Been online since 93 but anyhow, was wondering if anyone can help me? I get the same results when I was gonna try Ubuntu...I never get persistence even when downloading the 4GB casper file from pendrivelinux.com.

I'd really prefer Fedora 11 though, and someone in IRC said if I format it to ext3 I could use a bigger persistence than 4GB... Is this true? The other odd thing is my flash won't work with ext3 anymore. I format it, and it actually installed Fedora 11 on there once on the ext3 filesystem but now every time I try, and I always use gparted, it says it doesn't recognize the  filesystem and that it needs to be formatted. Any help is appreciated. I do like Fedora 11 the best and would love to run it off USB since that makes it easier to be portable and also since I am into digital photography. Thanks!

Joe
