Would you really use that system a lot? If so, then a live stick might not be 
what you want, but rather a full .raw that you deploy on a dedicated stick 
using a real partition table and ext3.

With the live system, you wouldn't even be able to do a meaningful online 
update without wasting a lot of space.
