If you successfully setup an overlay file then it should be used
automatically at least in my experience.

Once you login to your USB spin, su to root  (should need no password)


Below is an example from Knoppix live CD:


dd if=/dev/zero  of=/mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img bs=1024k count=1024
          Change the value of count to reflect however much persistent storage you would like
          if you USB stick has space available for it.
mke2fs -m 0 -F /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img

The ram based root file system on you USB might have a different mount point
such as
/mnt/sysimage

I am not sure of what the directory path should be for a Fedora live's  persistent storage,
so I offer only an example below:

mkdir /mnt/sysimage/persist

dd if=/dev/zero  of=/mnt/sysimage/persist/data.img bs=1024k count=1024
     
mke2fs -m 0 -F /mnt/sysimage/persist/data.img

Next time you reboot, every time you modify something in /etc or /home in
the memory based file system, it will be automatically reflected in the persistent storage.


Good luck,

JD
