I think the idea of an O'Caml live CD is fantastic! Would it be possible to have (or have options for) -- in addition to libraries -- all the O'Caml "goodies" like findlib, menhir, ledit, ocaml+twt, etc.? -or- Perhaps provide godi and the sources to compile / set up packages on demand? -and- Would it also be possible to offer a choice between Taureg and the O'Caml Emacs mode (http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/u3-ocaml/emacs/ocaml.emacs.tgz)? //cheers -Kyle
