(Solved)PCLinoxOS Kde 2011-09 LiveUSB LibreOffice doesn't work

[AS]

Locking the file

/union/etc/X11/xorg.conf

will maintain the settings during reboots.

I think the fstab file is written at each boot also.

Not surprising that those two are written at boot .....  it is the desirable behaviour when booting in different hardware.

It seems that the persistence settings do not override them.

the xorg.conf issue is specifically related to some (less common) resolution, at least there is a workaround.

the fstab, yes it's managed in a different way from mylivecd, (system was supposed to run from ISO read-only media).

mylivecd provide an option for fstab:

   --fstab <options>               Override the default options for the fstab on
                                   the LiveCD. Options are one or more of 'auto'
                                   and 'rw', for example '--fstab=rw,auto' will
                                   automatically mount all detected partitions
                                   rw.

We need to investigate a little around that option.

I unfortunately can't load PCLO directly on my laptop hard drive. What other options do I have?

Plain installation on USB stick, like a conventional hard disk (as opposed to LiveUSB system), once you have installed and booted from USB installation, run lomanager to install LO.  (of course you will need a larger USB stick).

I did the plain install on the USB stick. LO and everything else worked. When LO was loaded about 4 Gig of my 8 Gig stick was used. The full OS is a bit slower running off the stick, but I can live with that.

Thanks for all your help. This one I suggest is "solved". If I was not such a newbie, I would know how to mark it as such.
