Does anyone know of a live-image Debian on CD?
I know that Slackware Linux and, I think, SuSE Linux both
ship with a CD that can be used to run a full system off
of CD-ROM. I've never actually used them, but I've always
thought it was an interesting concept. Not sure if they
can do the Yahoo briefcase thing, but it'd make a good
HOWTO for the NewbieDoc project if you figure it out.
(I think I just channelled Will...)
Good luck,
