I have 9.10 Ubuntu on my USB. Its running as a live cd. I was wondering how can I install Flash and video drivers on it. (Or any program really) I dont really want to make it persistent. Unless I really have to.

If it truly works as a live cd then no change is persistent, all changes are done inside RAM.

So why not just
# apt-get install [something?]

With flash that should work OK I guess, but with video drivers it might be a little harder. I'm not positive about Ubuntu Live CD, but I think it would use an nv driver or maybe a vesa one for nvidia, though it should default to nv. So you would have to apt-get install [nvidia driver], load the module, and restart x. Should be fairly straightforward but I'm sure a problem would arise somewhere... As it does always in Linux.
