What about a "metadistro" with a cdrom (in the future a dvdrom) runing Mandrake from the cd-driver? similar to Knoppix but with all the Mandrake goodies.
there are a couple mandrake related projects to do exactly that. Maybe Mandrakesoft could "adopt" one of them and or start a wiki node with the needed info?
Doing Knoppix MIB with Mandrake files would KILL.
(this project boots from cd and then mounts a flash memory key with an encrypted loopback filesystem that is used for the user home)
