Don't forget the work and temp directories in addition to the logs.
These are configurable in server.xml.  In addition, it is your
responsibility to ensure your app never writes to disk accept in a
specification-compliant manner.

Why not, it is a good idea to do so, but running from CD going to be slow.
What you have to do:
1) configure tomcat to use a different drive for logs and for temporary files.
For example on Win env. your logs should be saved to c:\ It make shure that tomcat 
will have access to your drive regardless of CD ROM letter.
2) burn CD (or create a folder with read only permissions on the hard drive) and test 
it.

It is not a problem, usually on production servers (unix env) /bin mounted as read 
only, to minimaze risk of hacking.
