You're still having the same problem - it's "sudo" not "sudu".

Possibly.  I don't know anything about the live CDs - I wouldn't have
thought _anything_ could be saved to the CD.  

The correct place to do this is in udev, where there would be a rule like:

KERNEL=="ttyS14", SYMLINK+="modem"

If the particular tty differs from time to time, then you would use
something more like

KERNEL=="ttyS*", SYSFS{product}=="...some identifying string...", \
                                        SYMLINK+="modem"

I suppose you could figure out exactly what rule you need, and make a new
liveCD with that rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/
