Can you expand on what you are looking for? I am bit confused. You talk about cold storage and disks and at the same time your own wallet? Generally speaking live cds tend to be write only so, while you can have one that comes with electrum, you won't be able to save your wallet file there. Also saving your wallet on the disc means that you will have something you will use across sessions and that kinda defeats the purpose of using a live cd in the first place.

Maybe I'm just over thinking it.

BTW electrum can be used for offline wallets. In that scenario you are saving the wallet on a dedicated offline PC. It can also be used to create brain/paper wallets using a live cd in which case no soft copies are saved and you just recreate the wallet from seed everytime you want to use it. So which way are you leaning?

Hello is there a guide or walkthrough that demonstrates electrum in cold storage such as on ubuntu or something just for extra protection

Unless my question can be answered here, I have ubuntu burned on a disk is there anyway to have the entire OS install on the disk and not my computer so I can just put the disk in any computer and have ubuntu on there with electrum/my wallet on there
