Developers / Linux techies view point manual installation is easy and
convenient.
In the case of a library professional, they have no Linux experience.
They need to familiar with Linux desktop. Live DVD can provide
familiarization.
It give more confidence in them. Later they can

I tend to disagree. From what I get from people on mailing lists
that use the DVD is

We can submit the Official Live DVD to users, its their freedom to use for
what purpose.
They have freedom to accept or reject it.
I strongly believe that, Live DVD can provide an opportunity to try Koha
for newbies.
Please forgive me if
Please email me the url for the latest live version please.

I think it's even sillier for folks to jump on Vimal for crafting a very
widely used
tool that is incredibly appreciated and is a great contribution.
This is a mischaracterization of this thread. No one is criticizing
Vimal for creating the Live DVD.
