Hi Leon,
I don't have the infra (nor the knowledge or expertise) to create a LiveCD
I didn't think about Fedora. This is indeed a good pointer, I will
definitely try that
Actually, I'm not too worried about the basics, but rather about the wifi,
audio & video drivers (one of the boxes is a multimedia system)
Thanks!
