Persistence problems
Perhaps I shouldn't start a new post but as I cannot set up persistence with a save.dat file I thought of setting up a USB stick so persistence is achieved automatically by having Porteus on an ext4 partition. How can I set up a USB stick so that there is an Ext4 partition with Porteus that does not require setting up persistence with save.dat files? I appreciate that there has to be a partition that my PC can boot from (my PC cannot boot from a completely formatted ext4 USB stick).

Hi, lobster15!
From your question I see you are a bit confused about Porteus as live system. Peristence has nothing to do with Ext4 file system, for instance.
If you start Porteus as normal user -not in AF mode- anything you add will go to a permanent folder named "changes", so the next time you start as a normal user again, you will have your changes working again.
I recommend you read the tutorials at Porteus site. There you will get a more detailed explanation how the system works, and the options you have to get your changes working also when you start in always fresh mode.
Regards

Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).
