I'd like to use a "live" cd and be able to save my stuff to it without requiring a separate medium. What I'd like to happen is partition a cd-rw so that the first part is from the iso that I'd download from somewhere, and the second part would be a writable filesystem (udf?) that I'd be able to mount as /home. First of all, given the speed that these things write/read at, is this idea realistic/possible?
I know you said "without requiring a separate medium", but wouldnt an easier solution be a USB keyring drive for /home, /etc and other volotile files rather than what you are suggesting. I know its not what your asking, but it does go a long way towards whay you are trying to achieve.
You speed issues with RW-CD would no longer be a problems as the CD can be RO from the start
