I dunno either. Aslo, my internet connection requires some work (adsl,
ppoatm), so usually i don't have it running under any live-cd. To bad
that in Poland it is one of most popular internet connections now...
So not so many people (at least in my country) would be able to do
that.

Aslo, if someone knows how to install antivirus + captiva on live-cd,
he propably is experienced enought to do anything he need without any
help from ubuntu-devel :]
