Live vs. Install CDs

I agree on the need for LiveCDs, and would like to cooperate with 
someone on building a good one.

Last night I installed the Edubuntu preview as a VMWare Guest (host is 
Kubuntu Hoary).  Worked OK until I tried to update ... now it won't 
complete the bootstrap.

Anyway, I would prefer to fold in the inevitable flood of bugfixes after 
Breezy is released ... downloading an .iso is bad enough, but then 
immediately downloading several hundred MB of updates isn't going to be 
practical on a LiveCD.

I have some experience with LiveCDs, but not enough of remastering to 
count for anything.  Started trying it with TheOpenCD but didn't get 
very far, just from not enough time for trial and error.  Maybe someone 
with more remastering experience could take the lead, and I could test.

I can also program in Perl (and can read some Python ;-).

Oh, and add Belize to the list of counties interested.
