Does a ubuntu live USB drive contain the apache and mysql and other Internet type programs?
no, not unless it is a Ubuntu Server cd.
Could that be put onto a USB and then booted from?
yes it can,
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download
remember to get the one u need, 32 bit or 64.
also i just remembered that Ubuntu Server does not boot live.
you would need to add them manually to a Ubuntu image.... unless you install the server to the usb. and remember it will be in CLI mode.
if u want a desktop install ubuntu onto a usb. and then boot into it and install lamp and whatever else you need.
I thought you couldnt add programs to a live session even with persistence.
not live. if u format the usb as ext4 and actually use it as a drive and install Ubuntu onto it. with only the ext partition and set it as the mount point /
