Can you use PHP and Mysql with a Linux Live CD?

Q. If you come back to Windows will all your PHP & Mysql settings gone? Do you have to reinstall everything again if you decide to use a second time the Linux Live CD?? I don't want to install Linux permanently o0n my sustem but I would like to work with the Lice CD without losing my work & setings. Is it possible?

A. Linux LiveCD's are run within the RAM of your PC so you cannot save you settings between LIVE sessions.

One possibility is having Ubuntu installed on a USB Pendrive

How to make a live bootable usb?
Q. I want to make a bootable live usb for both linux(ubuntu) and windows 7...how to do it??please help....

A. The Linux one is easy.  Just download and run PendriveLinux with your favourite distro .iso.  Select it from the dropdown list when you run it.  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/  If you make a Persistent file, then it will save changes you make to the installation on the USB drive.  I have a really nice Pinguy installation on a USB stick.

Windows 7 is a bit trickier, in that Windows doesn't allow you to do that sort of thing.  I doubt that it's possible.
 

how do you know if your PC can boot from a USB?
Q. I am looking to get a linux LIVE usb. And was wondering if my PC is new enough for it to boot from the USB.

Its a 2002 IBM Netvista desktop.(solid nice machine)

A. Insert a blank USB stick (some BIOS versions won't give the USB boot option if one isn't connected!) and restart.

On startup, keep tapping either F1, F2, F10,(Be Aware that some manufacturers also use F10 for system recovery!) Esc or Del (depending on your system) until you get to the BIOS setup screen.

Look for an option to change boot device, or similar, and see it it's listed. If it is, you're good to go âº
