[Edu-sig] FW: Common Live CD base and generator (was: Educational Collaboration)

[Arthur]

The ideas for LiveCD creation for educational use are peculating. 

The concept presented here I think is good indication of the good things to
come.

Projects like morphix are magnificent, however each module needs maintenence
outside of debian.

The idea I would like a litle more would be a project to include a live CD
base package into debian. Maybe with support from Morphix and others.

A Debian Live CD generator, somthing like jigdo[1] for live CDs that can
draw any .deb into a live CD.
