[SoaS] FW: Crazy SoaS Idea Possible DVD Kit-

[Thomas C Gilliard]

I can try to put together the required files on a DVD and then make a 
.iso of it to upload to Tgillard.

> So there would be 2 files... One with the SoaS files for the creation of
> the USB stick and the other to play as a live CD. Am I crazy or what???
I think you would have to burn the sugar.iso files copied from the DVD or
dd write the .img files to get a bootable sugar entity.

I do not see how to make this a live DVD at this time
SUGGESTIONS?

==Exactly what should be included on this DVD?==

Possible choices;
