There is little point making a Linux based LiveCD of FGFS, if it can only be
used on specific computers that a knowledgable person has already checked.
With that constraint, we might as well either
(a) do a full manual install of Linux with the driver downloading, or
(b) use the Windows version of FGFS and set the CDROM up for AutoRun.
Remember, the idea of the LiveCD was that people could use it at home.

>From the pragmatic point of view, if (b) is the right way to go,  I've got
no objections to making the script up on a Linux machine then burning a
copy of the standard AutoRun FGFS image with the new script file inserted.
I won't be able to _use_ the CDROM myself, but I can still hand it out ...
