I would first pick a base distribution, I love Debian and it s quite flexible with some good looking tools for live cd creation ( http://live.debian.net/ ) so I will run with it. I have never used these tools before but they look like they could do the trick. You would need to install the FlightGear packages, and the packages relating to either the free nvidia and ati drivers, or the non free drivers. I would stick with gnome, configure the gdm to login without authorisation to a user level account. You could if wanted configure Gnome to start the fgrun program when the user logs in. You might need to play around with the xserver also to make it configure the graphics drivers on startup, using the free drivers would probably be much easier than the proprietary drivers. Good luck, Chris
