Live CD session save/restore
The Ubuntu live CD should allow the user to save the filesystem state to writable media, and later load it in order to continue working with the same configuration. This will be much faster and easier than creating and modifying custom live CDs.
The live CD initialization process should scan attached devices to find saved sessions, and offer the user a choice of one of the saved sessions, or a fresh default session.
A desktop UI should be provided to allow the user to save their session with a meaningful name.
The saved data format must accomodate both unionfs and device-mapper configurations.

Whiteboard
This is half-implemented in dapper, but it lacks a good UI and is too hard to use. Should be discussed how to make it better in Paris.
