I would like to know if it's possible to keep Linux and X on a CD with
a bunch of other apps and boot from that.  I would keep my files on my
windows partition with UMSDOS.

Is that possible?  How hard would it be to set up?  I want to do this
because I DON'T want to repartition my Hard Drive and I want to keep
as much free space as Possible on it.

I saw a HOWTO somewhere on mounting a dos partition, I guess that
would be a start. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of setting up
a UMSDOS distro on my HD, configuring it and then burning all the
files on a bootable CD.  The problem with that would be that if
something goes wrong with my configuration,  I would have to start all
over from scratch unless I could make the system check my HD for
system files first an if nothing shows up, it would use the ones on
the CD?

I know something like this was done with "RedHat Live" a few years
back.  Any ideas?

Thanks
