While I did download the copy of the live-DVD for SuSE 9.3, It
was only the size of two CD's and it didn't have RealPlayer on
it. However, I saw that it worked on my computer, so I downloaded
the 5 CD set--one iso every night until I got them all.
No, I think live DVD, defeats the purpose of a live platter. I
bet Knoppix didn't have a lot of multimedia on it, even
Realplayer/Helix? ---Jim
