Personally, I would really need LiveCDs, or none, see my points below.

Goal = distribute through events, ok!

Ok.

Regarding Switzerland...

I see two main purposes for pressed CDs:

A. ) *Give-away samples* to hand out to colleagues, at Conferences,
Meetings of Initiatives, etc.

B.) People who are ready to "take the plunge" and install it, but have
*limited internet access* .

In Switzerland, broadband is very common, so really, I only see a need
for (A) here. But as give-away samples,

I want *LiveCDs* !

I understand that you cannot provide both Install- and Live-CDs. You
will need to gauge whether you want to aim for the *no internet* folks
or the *have-a-look* people, in that case... :-/

Yeah, let's rock! :-)
