RE: Tomcat & MySQL Run On Read-Only Media ..(off-topic)

Here are two:

http://www.demolinux.org/

I've seen demoLinux...it was pretty cool.  Couldn't do much, but there's no
reason why you couldn't burn a custom CD with both the Linux distro and the
web application on it.

You'd not only have to setup a database in RAM, you'd also have to do your
logging in RAM, or turn your logging off, as well as tell tomcat to create
it's work directories in RAM.  Possible, I think, but certainly not trivial.

There is a project (I forget its name) which is building a version of Linux
designed to run on a CD.  Thus you do not have to make any assumptions about
what is on the PC.  You can lock this version down so that it does not even
look at their disk, and provided you use the VESA framebuffer you are more
or less guaranteed to get it to run on the screen.

I am sure that this would provide you a very good platform for such an
application.
