I don't understand this part -- where else would the live system write
updated files if not to the persistent file? The original squashfs is
read-only.

I think we really ought to just disable installing big drivers such as
nvidia or fglrx on the live system. It was never meant to actually
work there.

Thanks for the analysis,
