Do you know how Linux under a virtual machine compares in terms of
performance with Linux from a live-CD? Since there are already
well-maintained Debian packages for FSL, it might be fairly easy to
distribute a Debian/Knoppix live FSL CD (which would also allow an
easy permanent installation of a Linux system pre-loaded with FSL).
Probably slower though, I guess, and the space requirements of FSL
might mean dropping other useful (large) Linux programs such
OpenOffice. Well, just a thought...
Ged.
