Just so that this is searchable for others who are trying to run of the Pyro Live CD 5.0.0, a couple of comments:

*Problem*: Emacs doesn't appear to be on the CD anywhere and so you can't click edit from within pyro.
*Easy fix*: In the shell window before starting pyro, type:
    export EDITOR=kwrite
(note there is a space after the word export but nowhere else) Of course, with kwrite you can't run towers of hanoi, so you /could/ install emacs every time you run the CD, but kwrite is sufficient for most tasks.


*Problem*: To connect to the Hemisson you need to pick a port
*Fix*:
If you're plugged into the serial port otherwise known as com1, try: /dev/ttyS0
If you're plugged into a USB port, try  /dev/ttyUSB0  etc.
