Musix GNU+Linux has the option to copy the entire CD to the harddisk 
(like all knoppix derivates; cheatcode: tohd=/dev/hda1 for example) and 
boot from there; no need to install anything but to boot (just the 
initial part) you will need the CD (with cheatcode: fromhd=/dev/hda1 or 
whatever). I use a separate partition (on my machine /dev/hdb5) for this 
and it works great. All the details are on the CD under Boot options.
