The idea of the LiveDVD is seducing. If a LiveCD is good, LiveDVD can be only better, but :

1/ Downloading and burning a DVD iso, booting and running Knoppix from a DVD is much longer than from a CD.

2/ I have the feeling that every user is missing packages even in a LiveDVD. The only way to satisfy each particular set of needs is either to customize the LiveCD either to install the common one on the HD and to apt-get the needed packages.

3/ It looks like it is difficult to release the LiveCD and the LiveDVD at the same time. So the LiveCD 5.0.1 is still "old" when it is released. LiveDVD doesn't seem to be very popular because downloading the big iso is painful. Bugs are discovered a long time after the LiveDVD release (http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...436&highlight=), and their reports may be too late to be fixed in the following release.

To satisfy most of the users, wouldn't be it better to put high priority on LiveCD releases ?
