hi, i recall that at some point there was some talk of creating a live-cd to showcase mono progress for those not willing and/or able to install it on their own machine.
is this still a feasible option and if so, is anyone working on something to this effect? i did some quick searching of which live-cd distros would be best suitable and in terms of current configuration of the live-cd (read: the default wm, the packaging system, how up-to-date the distro is etc...) and the pld live cd (http://www.distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=pld) seems well suited for this (defaults to gnome, has current kernel and gnome/gtk packages, is rpm-based, includes apache 2.0.49, gcc 3.3.3, and other niceties). i have not ever tried the pld live cd i must admit and the polish pages make it hard for me to say how easily it can be remastered (though according to the translation engine at www.poltran.com "scripts have been placed on plate for remasteringu. there short instruction is placed too" - [allyourbasearebelongtous...] :-). the idea of a mono live cd is seems like a very positive thing to me to increase awareness and ease transition from other platforms. anyone else out there feel the same way? regards, --chris ps: adios (http://dc.qut.edu.au/adios/adios-bootcd.html)seemed suitable as well, though i could not find a package list detailing what all it includes, though it seems to include a lot! pps: it really only makes sense that there would be a suse live cd for this purpose at some point... ;-) _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
