I think of the All-in-One as analagous to the "Try Ubuntu" option on
the Ubuntu boot CD.  You can't really save anything, nor should it try
to support that because its not a good way to use a computer.

All-in-One is "Try Squeak", we should give them a "Install Squeak" so
they can be properly set up and empowered.
