Glad to hear that you got it working. Well a simple answer would be yes, you will have to do it for the live cd until you install it. A little more complicated answer would be you can have it save your settings to a USB memory stick or such. Though that is much more complicated and can be best answered by the Live CD Persistence page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence
