Did you not read the installation instructions? There is no 'Live CD' at this time.
The instructions state that you do need to install this on a stand alone computer, with a hard drive, and then have your 'terminals' point to the MAC Address of that stand alone computer and have your 'terminal' boot via PXE. Then it will load on that computer and setup your terminal. This is what I understand from the instructions.
