I would appreciate help with questions: If I use LiveCD/DVD, can I access my current Home directory or external drives? Can I install and test applications while running OS from LiveCD/DVD? Do I need to mount some HD to test-install applications? What is better for testing - LiveCD or LiveDVD? Thanks for help!
