Both Kadischi and pilgrim are live CD's. The live cd created will always
have to make a choice what to put on the CD's. People installing the
live CD to hard disk can always use Pirut

Not at all. It's just an added bonus users don't need a network to
actually install the OS to a hard disk.

afterwards.

Of course there is as you'll include the binary both as an RPM and in
the squashfs (or whatever). Also, DVD media is more expensive than CD
media. So are DVD writers.

I think this thread isn't useful anymore. Suggest we just put our
differences aside.

Good luck,
