Hi,

I have a client that wants to be able to demo his new website on his laptop to his clients without using an internet connection.

It's a Java web-app so we need Tomcat, and MySQL for the database.
One of the ideas we came up with was to create a live CD that has Tomcat and MySQL installed. We would need write access somewhere though, tomcat needs to write logs and the changes to the database need to persist, at least for the session.

We could use a USB key to write to but that means he'd have to carry that around with him too and it could break at any time or he could lose it.
We've also thought about writing to the ramdisk. I'd imagine that's the best solution.

Now, I'm completely new to Live CD distros so I'm not really sure if I'm in the right place. How would you go about doing something like this?
Would you bother?
