Works for me. I need to get busy on that Fedora MythTV live CD, complete with 'install to HD' option... :)

The spin-your-own-live-cd stuff in Fedora 7 is going to do some great things in all segments.

If I were granted a wish, I'd suggest the right kind of LiveCD for my parents MythTV (which exists in the same world as wishes, currently) would run live from the cd and, not install itself onto the hard drive, but keep all of its data there. It would do some hardware detection, and write that out to the hard drive so setup was a 1-time thing.

The reason for this is next time a release is available I can send them a new disc and they can pop it in, a script upgrades anything that's necessary on the hard disk, and they're good to go.

For them, maintaining a live hard-drive distro is just too much work (for me). I'd expect alot of (potential) InstallFest attendees would be in the same camp.

Maybe this already exists and I'm just not aware of it.

I realize this may be a Big Wish, but, hey, they exist in Myth- ology. I'll stop.
