Then I think we are not speaking about the same thing. Of course, if I was to rebuild isos daily, I would look for something else. However, that is not the issue for me - the whole point of making a live CD is to give it away at conferences or to students and such. That doesn't mean it has to be 100% current. Thus the rebuilding issue is moot and I can live with 6months old Knoppix. The Kanotix you pointed out is even older than that, despite being released in January. > really? typically you want boot the classroom with stuff "per session", > I mean: different courses - different ISO's . . . This is not what I have seen - most university labs have stuff for different courses pre-installed in a pre-made image made for the given term based on the course requirements, e.g. with Ghost or something similar. Dealing with isos for different courses looks like a big hassle, especially when most of the software the different courses need is common - compilers, editors, OS, etc. Not to mention that this doesn't work for Windows - most of the labs are either Windows-only or dual booting in more enlightened places. So you would still need Ghost for the Windows part, doubling the workload for the admins. Not fun if you have to deal with labs with 50+ PCs each. > Why not have more than one Session/ ISO on the Terminalserver machine ? > Only reboot the clients and start them as a > > Presentation ,Simulator ,Scientific-Lab, Office Pool etc. etc. The > Server-PC has a set of ISO's, all of them created in some minutes.

See above - that it is possible to do doesn't mean it is also practical. > Mandriva-Live detects your 3D Hardware, is downloading& installing the > right driver on the fly ?? > It would be nice to see :-) I didn't try the live one recently, if I remember right, they ship the DKMS source modules and build either Nvidia or ATI depending on what was detected on boot. > > Yes, I also like the Live-Session in "developer config", building my > own osg, but in most cases you like to install&run it without osg knowledge. Well, but the point was to make a CD *with* OSG, no? Usually you do it either for developers or to demo a specific app, so OSG knowledge is somehow assumed.
