Well, it worked! Perfectly, to be exact! Compiz zoomed in and zoomed out using <Super> and scrolling up and down respectively with my mouse wheel! ADRIANE worked wonderfully as well!

I am excited, as I wanted to dedicate one of my flash drives to a single live system with which I could work on computer systems (performing backups, virus scans, etc). I realize that not all systems will likely support everything (sound and Compiz), but I am just glad that it works wonderfully on mine! It even picked up my wireless connection out of the box! This is great!!

Thanks for all of the input!

Take care.
