I was kind of surprised they didn't exist yet. But I notice you are currently working on automating livecd generation. It would be great if these steps were automatic, rather than a manual bag on the side. Do you have any plans in that direction? Or any other thoughts on the task? Thanks.

livecd plans?
The top of my todo list for this afternoon is:
- creating a mutant version of j5's livecd by adding the olpc library. This would become the recommended target for visitors wishing to taste sugar using a livecd (vs livecd, "Web" doesn't "file not found", and can browse without network working; vs .img below, no qemu install needed).
- attempt to create a .img for qemu from that .iso. This would become the recommended target for visitors wishing to taste sugar using qemu (vs .iso, is writable, so it serves as a "virtual xo"). This would also be a development alternative (vs livecd, it's persitent; vs xo disk images, hardware works; vs coderanger's big fc6, it's not 6GB).
