If you want to use a new partition, wouldn't it be the same as 
installing the system from that live CD? Well, maybe you aren't talking 
about Ubuntu but about something like Knoppix which isn't meant to be 
installed. Then I would use Virtualbox and create a virtual machine 
which has no harddisk image but is only connected to the ISO file. Then 
you could copy that virtual machine to all of the boxes. Like Goh Lip 
wrote already, you don't need an extra partition for this option but you 
wouldn't have an entry in your grub menu.
