also, i now have a dsl machine connected to the net, so i can apt-get and then transfer the packages via cd-RW to the non-internet machine. i want to see if i can get LAMP, an xserver, a window manager (maybe evilwm) and some other stuff into 50 mb. as well as some majorly customised scripts. (search for my old post to find details)

You mean THE X server, I hope!

A distro specifically built to Burn CD's/DVD's and stuff would be awesome..such as K3b, or DVD::Rip..similar to what DVDShrink with M$ does

Belated seasons greetings - I've been farting around with Linux distro's for about 3-4 yrs now and have reached a few conclusions:
1. My "ideal" distro does not exist
2. I'm too "lazy" to learn how to get into the "nut and bolts" of Linux
3. After all the distro's I've downloaded and played/crashed/stuffed-around-with-to-make-work, I need something else!
4. I choose Debian based systems/apps.
Something to start with - a basic OS that will boot up, detect whatever hardware that I happen to have at that time (nothing fancy either-usually only that which is supplied by the motherboard), a working graphical desktop(Icewm, Fluxbox, XFCE4 come to mind), a working sound system (straight "out of the box), browser to find all the apps, and a really GOOD package manager to download, compile, install all those apps with their dependencies, nothing more. Could this fit into less than 50MB? A live CD?
Thanks for listening - Steve
