Hello Leszek,

You may forgot that some old machines don't really have USB Ports. If these
have, the machine doesn't boot from that USB and not everyone knows about
PLOP, and yes, we are talking about the new and beginners users.

I do agree that LiveUSB makes a lot of difference indeed as far as I've
seen for the last 2 years for so many tests I have personally done.
However, the classic and the standard approach, IMHO, shall be the LiveCD.
