the problem with running off a usb stick is that space is limited. if i remember correctly, the maximum space available when you enable persistence is like 2 or 4 gig, although your stick is capable of holding way more.

You can free up a considerable amount of space by installing localepurge to remove unused languages, and also by cleaning your apt cache.
