I found a new Linux Live CD that I'm using to help with my exhibit for 
the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 1.0.  It's called Slax and is 
apparently based on Slackware Linux.  Slax is pretty damn sweet.  My 
problem with creating a Live CD for my exhibit was that I needed a 
number of files on the CD ready for use that are not standard Linux 
components.  Slax allows you to drop them in a specific directory 
andthen run a simple script which builds a bootable CD image.  Awesome!  
I burned a live CD that has all the source code for my project and a DOS 
compiler.  Using the Slax Kill Bill edition, I can run dos programs 
under DosBox without any problem and upload the compiled binaries to my 
Rainbow easily.  i strongly recommend Slax to anyone who needs a Live 
CD.

Adios,
Jeff
