The answer is actually yes. The live CD's of the major distro's such as Ubuntu are also installation CD's, so all one has to do when running it live is to select the install icon on the desktop, which launches the installer. Once installed, Xastir is there along with whatever other apps are included in the CD.
Although running the CD (or USB) live can be handy with Xastir, none of the settings in Xastir or any other app will be saved. Therefore it is best to install the OS on either on a hard drive partition or on a USB drive. The capability to install the OS and have a fairly up to date version of Xastir built-in was my primary motivation for customizing the Xubuntu Live CD. It's actually a viable alternative to VMware or Cygwin for Windows users if it is installed onto a USB drive.
