Sorry, I think you misunderstand me. Don't we already have probono's klik project for installing apps while running off a liveCD? I thought agent_smith was talking about making apt-get install more accessible to the noob with an hdinstall!

BTW, the KNOPPIX CD is for the noob and the advanced user and the developer alike. This CD has a huge audience! To drop development tools I think is a huge mistake. Isn't one of the benefits of using Linux to have a programmer friendly environment???

Whatever you do, keep gcc and blackdown, jdk and jre as well as kwrite, kate, konqueror and konsole!!! My students depend on these every day!
