This (nearly) is precisely what is done by demolinux, see
http://www;demolinux.org:
put a working install on a bootable CD with the required applications,
boot of the CD,
use WITHOUT installing or even touching the harddisk.
Isn"t that marvelous ? This can be adapted to any other specific application.
Best regards,
Nicolas
