The best idea is that some automagic might be nice. There are lots of lists of hardware by model in the distro that could be yanked into XML and thus into something pretty. But ye gods! don't let us do anything manual. 'Nuff said. > * Marketing via a LiveCD - developer's don't find this terribly > useful, but its a great marketing tool.

Knoppix STD works great for me personally, but I *know* I could convert people if I could just boot Fedora Core on their machines in a non-destructive manner.
