I grabbed a 4g usb drive that I had hanging around and used unetbootin to put mx15_64 on it. Well.. I have done it right because I have removed ALL the drives from my system and I am typing this in here.

When it started to boot mx did try to find a dvd in the drive after the booting started (sr0, there was an old livedvd in there waiting to be overwritten) and it booted from that instead, so.. hence my removal of EVERYTHING from the system so it didn't have a choice but to boot from the usb drive. I will put the main harddrive back in and see if it wishes to boot from USB then and not skip to the hdd install.
(edit: still booted from the usb drive *thumbs up*)
But DANG that sh*t is fast! About 4 times as fast as booting from a dvd, so I find.
In case anyone is wondering about the drive itself.. it's a cheapo red Emtec C250 (googled it) thing with a blinky light.
But mx15 live is working like a charm from this doohickey, and I have learned something new.
