I have a bootable Linux (Debian-based) LiveCD, that I want to duplicate onto a hard disk so that it boots from that instead. The hard disk can (should) be mounted read-only, although a writeable swap partition might be useful.
Could you download the USB image http://webconverger.org/usb/ and dd that onto your hard drive, the same way you would for a USB stick? I don't know how this would affect your ability to set things read-only, but I would have though a change to /etc/fstab should be sufficient to lock the system down?
