The point for live CD's wasn't to give an easier way for users to install \
the  latest bleeding edge stuff (even though it can be used for such) but \
to offer  a harmless way to preview the latest additions and improvements \
of KDE's CVS  Head *without* the need for digging into the whole (for them \
scary)  compile/installation stuff. What we should do is promoting the \
latest  additions and improvements without the audience needing to install \
it  themselves (which always implies a certain level productive usability) \
to  check the changes out. Knoppix based live CD's are the ideal solution \
here  since they give access to a full system without any barrier or danger \
for the  already installed productivity system. Of course this kind of live \
CD should  have "technology preview, not intended for productivity use" \
printed all  over. Just imagine, this kind of live CD would be very easy to \
check out for  any press reporter to report about the latest changes in \
some popular media.

Or am I missing something here?
Cheers, Datschge =)
