¿can I run MariaDB from a live-dvd?

Hello there. Greetings from México.

I hope you can help me with the next case:

I am using a knoppix's live-dvd. My pc has an independent logical-partition used for programs and data storage. I download and unzip and decompress the tarball and put it into the "storage partition". But I don't know how to startup and use MariaDB from the live-dvd and the info. "prepared" in the logical-partition.

What do I need to do for use MariaDb that way?

Thank you in advance for your help

Juan Antonio Vargas.

I think it's better contact knoppix's forum and check how to startup programs outside live-dvd, at boot time

mariadb daemon start calling the mysqld binary file with some options (mysqld --help for more information) there're others scripts that help: mysqld_safe and mysqld_multi
