It's an option if the user doesn't mind, but by default an even better option might be to have it pre-configured to use a thumb drive for data storage along. Then CD writers are not needed and cheaper CD-R's can be used. Don't forget the concept: "Never touch the existing data on the hard drive." This is important so users are confident that none of their existing data or configurations are at risk. And remember, this is only for an introduction to the software. The whole system can be installed on the hard drive later anyways if they decide they like it. ------------------- For computers that can boot from USB it would be more elegant to forget about the CD and do it all on a USB thumb drive. Just imagine, your entire development world on your keychain -- goes anywhere on Earth with you -- and it works on any computer that happens to be handy! :) Sincerely, Ken Grome > > On Oct 9, 2008, at 11:28 PM, Kenneth Grome wrote: > > Okay here's my concept: > > > > Create a LiveCD that lets anyone experiment with WebDNA > > immediately, simply by booting their desktop or laptop > > machines directly from the CD.
