Are there any live mac cds or dvds that can work on a regular pc just like the regular Knoppix cd does?

If I understand your question correctly, are you asking if a "live" version of Mac OS X is available that will boot on an Intel based system? If so, the answer is no. Mac OS X is a proprietary software that (at present) can only run on Power PC based computers. Also, the user's license for those who purchase Mac OS X prohibits anyone from using it on anything but "Apple labled" hardware.
Having said that, there are rumours that Apple -may- release an Intel compatible version of OS X... but this is only a rumour. If this ever happens, it is -extremely- unlikely it will be a "live CD", since OS-X is just too big.
There is PearPC, which is a PowerPC emulator that allows you to run most versions of OS X under Windoze and Linux, but you take a big performance hit and not everything works. PearPC is free, but you'll have to still buy a copy of OS X. You'll also have to set aside a 6-8 gb partition -just- for OS X... not exactly a live CD
Nope, if you want a "live CD" your option is Linux, and the best live CD's (IMHO) are Knoppix and Kanotix (nearly identical twins BTW). You can dress up your destop so it -looks- like OSX, if that interests you, but the engine beneath the tiger skin will still be Linux.
Thanks for your reply, I thought that maybe there was a way that you could do that with the emulator built into the live cd, but I guess that is just too much.
there IS a version of os x that runs from a CD, but it's for PPC only. It's also HIDEOUSLY slow. There is a DVD version as well. They're meant to be used as "rescue" discs for os x. I've used 'em a time or two, just to see what they were all about, but never to actually fix a PROBLEM...mainly because os x HAS no problems.
Be patient...I'm sure we'll see something like that once the PPC to intel switch is complete.

With Apple's transition to Intel, a Mac OS live CD that runs on plain PCs would now be technically possible, but Apple licenses Mac OS only for use with Apple hardware.
No live CD yet. But, they are making big strides in getting this OS to run on PCs.
