I like the LiveCD, but I think there has been an effort to do too much. It
shouldn't attempt to be "complete" system. I'd prefer a basic CD with the book
and jhalfs is all that is necessary. A X capability with a vesa driver is all
that is necessary for the user. I'm not sure that it is necessary to even have
the sources on the cd because they change so often. It would also go out of
date more slowly.
