	   It is for instance clear that the demand -- given appropriate
	   publicity -- would be there.  And with distributions now
	   occupying one DVD, there would be no need to get into hanging
	   wires, connections, and all that.

I feel that am becoming a grumpy old stick-in-the-mud for pointing out
these things, but it's not that simple. Most motivated people with
DVDs can live-run or install their machines themselves---installfests
were increasingly handling the problem cases: remember that 16MHz box
with 4MB of memory that we successfully installed in one of the first
installfests? OK maybe not that severe, but we can't assume a working
DVD drive.

Actually, it'd be interesting to set up an installfest for all those
WRT54G/Zaurus/NSLU boxes. Much trickier---but this is where the action
is those days.

	   Arun, where did you get this? is it from the Iliad or the Odyssey?

No, it's the other Great and Timeless Bard, the Homer Simpson.
