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 =)
