A Live CD is currently not available. Several efforts are underway to create one.

• LiveBackup's creator has produced a Sugar LiveCd (that is, it's a bootable LiveCD version of the base image)

The LiveCD has not been updated since early April. Much which now works, was not even started back then. We hope to have a new LiveCD soon.

That's where you want to start investigating if you're interested in mastering your own.
