Well, there is one big reason why I think a Live-DVD could be great idea.
If we like to attract someone, or show another one, how Open Source VLSI Chip Design might be with LibreSilicon - a Live-DVD would help this people just to try it out.
Put the DVD into the PC, booting into the Live-System, all Tools already installed and smoothly working, just play around with examples, reading the documentation which came on the Disc.. seeing how great our stuff is, and shutdown the PC - without touching the current installation. This works even for folks which trust M$...
The rubbernecks also can later install - if they like so - a working system on a fresh partition on the hard disk by one click "Install to disk".
We just lowing the entry barrier.. Wouldn't it be great?
Maintaining the /etc/apt list could be the first step for that.
I still remember some (personal) talks with the guys from the great Rescue Live-CD distribution GRML.org. They said, there are some scripts running which do the stuff for them.. The Distribution is maintained on http://grml.github.io
Unfortunately I am not so familiar with hunting compilation issues.
Who likes to deal with a live-DVD?
Regards, Hagen.
P.S.: Another well known Linux Live-System is Knoppix.org - but it isn't maintained anymore, Mr Knopper said last March in Chemnitz at CLT meeting.
