[Scribus] Anyone interested in this?

[Boštjan Špetič]

um.. guys... livecds are an old technology:

garbure project has a dtp dedicated deistribution:
   http://garbure.org/
   http://garbure.org/galantine/

there exists a software for easier creation of morphix based livecds:
   http://ibuild.livecd.net/


.. and i really suggest you use it. builind livecds from scratch takes a lot of time and energy.

regards, bostjan
