:)

Did someone test the 64bit build as well?

What about using the same bootsplash theme as the main distro? The
very first bootsplash image (the isolinux one) already indicates that
the CD is a "live" one.

Or we can include them, they are little packages.

Uhmm, I don't remember exactly but I think that we do have a root
user, please just try to "sudo su" and see what happens.

Ok, I'll include them.

What are they all about? raid?

  DJ> 6. We could add some more packages; my suggestions are:

  DJ> ardour
  DJ> jamin
  DJ> amsynth
  DJ> ams
  DJ> inkscape
  DJ> blender
  DJ> gaim/pidgin
  DJ> vkeybd

  DJ> Maybe the DSSI instruments too.

I'll add them and see how big grows the ISO.

Ciao!
