Hi again, still no definit sponsor.
I started a tiny webpage on alioth: http://debix.alioth.debian.org/ Enjoy.

The advantage over the normal > CDs would be better autodetection and access to www, irc and local > docs during instalation (one could read the installation docs on > www.debian.org in galeon while running boot-loppies in an xterm). > A mixture of knoppix and installer. > > A sponsor should be versed in /bin/sh and intrested in creating live > filesystems.
