Comments anyone?


I would suggest a custom remastered Ubuntu Live CD.  There's a tool
called Remastersys which appears to be able to take an image of a
machine and create a live CD (or presumably DVD).  I've used something
similar in the past.  Otherwise I believe it is possible to remaster the
disc using other tools and remove the installation programs.

Other than that, USB sticks (1GB ones are cheap) on the machines would
be another option and also quicker than running off DVD/CD.  It would
just require the machines to be set to boot from USB (I'm guessing they
are fairly new machines, and assuming you're still at the council by the
next SFD day I guess speaking to Gareth in PC Support might be a good
idea maybe?).

Are you able to put one together for the event, will you have time to do
so,

if we have 1 then others can make a copy

Well I had a bit of a play yesterday, ran out of hard drive space in the virtual machine. I'm sure it would be possible before the next SFD easily enough.
