Perhaps we could have the liveDVD as the "default" platform then and use
techniques (compression/omission) to make liveCDs compatible? It would
be nice to create a very comprehensive environment in the live session
that would encompass all the needs of our current community. We'll see
in a short while if many people would like to have "the big ones"
included like OpenOffice, Gnome, and more.
Thanks again!
