Well, it took about 6 tries and a different USB mem-stick, but I finally got a persistent install!
Thank you for posting this solution, ianjb!
If anyone has a non-persistent install, just edit the proper syslinux.cfg file and it should work, too, but Mint stops you from editing the boot file while running from the stick.
Now I need to get Mint configured for the Aspire One netbook before installing it proper.

Is there any chance that you could post this in the wiki here?
The only option in the wiki is with using UNetbootin, plus the pictures are missing.
What Mint really needs is an install menu function from within Mint, like some other Live CD installs have.
Re: USB stick and many attempts
I think the mem-stick I used may have a problem with booting from it.
That's why I changed it. This is something other users need to watch.
Again, thanks for the workable guide.
