Hi,

I'd agree to the "above mini" LiveCD as far as it were consistent
operating system with X Window, twm, and compilation tools at least.
Just like some other systems are being offered e.g. NetBSD. Every
other piece of software could be downloaded to fit the target
Desktop/Server systems.

So, as for me the MiniLiveCD limit of 210 MB aren't of greatest
importance. Stability and coherency are what counts.

Thanks for the testing version!
Signing off, I'm gonna test it. :)

Cheers,
pp
