  Live CD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A live CD (or liveCD) is an operating system (usually containing other software as well) stored on a bootable CD or DVD that can be run directly from the CD or DVD drive, without installing into permanent memory, such as a hard drive.
The first OS to support live CD operations appears to have been Mac OS 7 on a CD and any other user-created Macintosh CD with a System Folder, which could be brought to a full desktop from a CD-ROM, in 1991.
A mini live CD, also known as a bootable business card, is a live CD small enough to fit on a CD-ROM that is the size and shape of a business card.
