Why is it that the fact that the LiveCD version doesn't have the ability
to install disqualifies it from the installfest? The LiveCD was built
with the idea of being a Knoppix-like CD -- not something that's meant
to be installed. 

In the stamped CDs (and downloadable ISOs) of Warty, Canonical provided
a set of two CDs: a LiveCD (the one you downloaded), and the installer
CD. The LiveCD was meant to test Ubuntu on as many different machines as
possible and to try out the distribution before installing it to be sure
that it was something you wanted. The installer, however, was meant to
be used for installation to the hard drive.

So... if you'll excuse the pun... where's the beef? =o)

But Ubuntu takes a maximum of about three to four presses of the enter
key to install in normal mode -- how much simpler does it have to be?
