The site is here: http://livecd.sourceforge.net/ The only problem I have encountered while using LiveCD is that the initial keyboard mapping is not for a US keyboard, which I solved with the following command ... kbdcontrol -l ../usr/share/syscons/keyboards/us.iso.kbd ( the / can be found above the 8 key on your number pad for a standard US based keyboard. You can also use tab completion ..(tab) etc .., does that make sense? ) Ofcourse, you would substitute whatever keyboard map that works for you :). Have fun, Thanatos
