Hi Daniel,

I have used LiveCD with great success. 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
