When you run a live CD, and you mount some Partition from your actual HDD, then you copy/paste the file on the desktop or anywhere of the livecd (which is running) where does that file get stored? Because when you restart the livecd does not leave any traces...

A live CD stores most of the information in RAM. When you turn it off, the RAM clears and you return to the original state.

@Winged: What if the file is larger than the RAM itself?

If you run the LiveCD in persistent mode it will save it. I know, that sounds weird because you can't save to a CD but you can run the Live CD on a thumb-drive or USB/Firewire drive in persistent mode.

Yeah, although it does not seem to be very reliable... You said many times that it got corrupted..

@Happy: It could present a link to the file instead of copying the whole thing. Or it might just give you an error message, or...

Hmm.. so a live CD totally depends on the RAM? I thought it might reserve some space on some partition and then deletes everything...

Yeah it seems to rely only on the RAM.

Hmm, if it represented a link, would that mean that if we modified that file, the original one would be modified?
I'm curious to try this...

I don't know for sure.
