A couple of observations: It seems to me it would be much more sensible to spend time making the tools to convert CD/DVD's to LiveUSBs than to respin existing media in a new (and apparently more complicated) way. It would be great is fedora went so far as to provide builds for the various common Linux platforms, along with Windows, MacOSX, BSD and whatever else. Also, Is it possible to supply LiveCD's that are smaller in size? If I'm testing the graphics card for example, I don't really need an email client (and probably masses of other software on the disk). How hard is it to just provide the necessities (another discussion I'm sure). R. -- "It's a fine line between denial and faith.
