this works quite good. One year ago we remastered Knoppix to put the http://www.mobiharz.de site within knoppix.

It has, as the other posts already mentioned. I wrote some startup scripts which put all the writeable things into ramdisk. As the mobiharz system needed a postgres database we even took the database into ram disk!

Of course it is slower but satisfied our needs for demonstration issues.

Thats a problem to my mind. You carefully have to study the licensing agreements about that. Have you considered other software like JRE from http://www.blackdown.org or xpdf?
