If you want to make a live CD, put the repository and working copies on a ramdisk or some other solution that allows writes (such as overlay filesystems that cache written data in RAM). > And can the V1.7 sqlite database be opened read-only? With sqlite itself, yes. Subversion however will want to open the db for writing pretty often, and will also want to create files in .svn/.
