if I understand, you would want to have all your disk/rom images
automagically sync with your Live PC ?

If this is so, I guess the best solution would be to pre-install something
like Spider Oak (https://spideroak.com/) without configuring it. First time
you boot your LiveCOCO you could enter your account details and then it
would sync your files. They offer a free 2GB account. Considering the size
of a coco disk/rom image, that looks like more than enough.
Other alternative is Dropbox. I could possibly install both and let people
choose, or use both and get 4GB.
