The debian-live goal is not to have already-generated images, but to give people (including you and your project) a way to generate custom images really fast. > > I'm also pretty sure our goals are aligned a bit differently.

Yeah but in your case, debian-live would (have) help(ed) you to build your project by not taking care of how the cd should boot, in various environment, how to build the cd itself, etc. Take a look at the project, it can be really helpful. I already used a debian-live with the 3 main desktop environments on a demo box without hard drive, for Solutions Linux 2008. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
