[chirp_users] Bootable Chirp CD & Thumb-drive

Hello, all;

Recently I have been using a bootable CD of CHIRP to take with me to radio club (Voice of Idaho) activities to help newbies program their radios. Works great, but I thought that a thumb drive would be handier since I could store some data files on it. Now, I have a fair familiarity with Linux but this stumps me. I created the boot-able thumb-drive and copied the CHIRP data files to the documents folder on it. They went on with no error messages and opened in CHIRP. Everything seemed fine until I rebooted the system and found that those data files were gone.

So, I am wondering why they were gone and what can I do to fix this.
