Hi James,
Sadly, there isn't a live CD version of Bookworm: there hasn't been for a few
months. The number of people working on Debian live images is very small.
I'm also a member of the Debian images team - who master CDs and do the release testing - and we test the live images at point release time but have no
input in producing them master copies.
The images team do maintain the images for standard (non-live) Debian install
media. What sorts of problems are you experiencing with Bookworm - is it
just missing firmware / drivers?
[It's generally expected that if you run testing, then you can live with a
lower degree of security support and are capable of sorting most problems:
testing is a moving target - if it breaks, you occasionally get to keep both
pieces].
Hope this helps - sorry to not have better news at this point.
With every good wish, as ever,
Andy Cater
