Wow, they have a fully self-hosting Fedora distro on a single CD? I want to see their compression technology! More seriously, as I've said now I don't know how many times -- the problems around a single CD are _ENTIRELY_ non-technical. They instead revolve around the fact that one of the big things around Fedora Core is that we ship is a self-hosting set of packages. And then the secondary bit of making the choices of what to put on there. FWIW, do a CD install of a basic desktop install of FC5 (deselect office, as OOo is big) in English and I think it only really uses the first CD. It'll ask for the second due to a dumb bug, but it doesn't actually use any bits off of it. > o They are actively working on a LiveCD project.

Building a live cd isn't that hard. Building a live cd framework in a way that's sustainable so that you don't have n people spending a month or two on it after ever release is the more interesting point. Jeremy
