If you want to boot with the USB and make your changes get saved to the
USB, look at http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=189&t=105155 .
It's a sort of complicated way of saying that you need to create a
separate partition of type ext2 that's named "live-rw" in order for the
Debian part of Linux Mint to recognize where to save permanent/persistent
changes you make.
The main downside to this is that there's no easy way to upgrade the
operating system. I guess having the permanent installation onto a USB
drive would be better if that's one of the goals.
