Databases: Moodle on a Linux live CD?

I need to showcase a course I have in Moodle at a presentation. Most probably I won't have Internet access, so I was thinking about using a Linux live CD distro (Knoppix, Kubuntu, name yours here...).
As Moodle depends on a SQL database (MySQL or PostgreSQL).
Would it work ok? Wouldn't I need an insane amount of RAM for the database manager to work off the lilve CD?
I'm no guru, jus' an annoying user... 8)

It should work on even a modest computer. 1Gb might be better than 512Mb, but even that should work. My laptop happily runs Postgres + Apache + PHP + Firefox + development tools all simultaneously with 1Gb ram.
