yes. I just did that (Mandriva 2008.spring) I don't know if
they download it or if they "cache" the drivers locally on
the CD, but you boot the LiveCD and you have 3D (OK, it's
quite long to boot). And when you install you still have
3D.
I'll try OSG ASAP

Hi Jan,
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

Hi All,
Perhaps OSG users are already doing this,
or are considering.
The purpose of this email is to throw this possibility out there, and
to get feedback from OSG users who might find such an means of
distribution useful. There are members of the community far better
placed to actual go ahe

Hi Robert,
Yes, the live bootable CD is a very interesting concept. I made
something like that based on Knoppix years ago, that proof of concept
used Mesa IIRC. It was like October 2002 and primarily a demo of VTP
