I am wondering if I can somehow have tables read only at the OS level and still have MySQL work as normal (at least for SELECTs). I can make the table files read only, but when I try to select something, I get the error similar to "your_table.MYD cannot be found". The funny thing is if I change the file to read-write, perform a select, and then change it back to read-only, it will work from then on for that MySQL session. Must have something to do with the cache...
If anyone has successfully placed MySQL on a CD or some other read-only media, I would appreciate any tips. It looks like I could pack the file with myisampack and the distribute it (?).
