This (nearly) is precisely what is done by demolinux, see http://www;demolinux.org: put a working install on a bootable CD with the required applications, boot of the CD, use WITHOUT installing or even touching the harddisk. Isn"t that marvelous ? This can be adapted to any other specific application. Best regards, Nicolas -- Nicolas Pettiaux Avenue du Pérou 29 B-1000 Brussels
