Why not make a LiveDVD, then? DVD's would be much more suited for 
"media" and "content" oriented LiveDisk projects. Granted not everyone 
has access to highspeed internet connections to download and burn these 
images, but a distribution channel I'm sure could be set up. Even in a 
DVD there's room for all of OOo with all and its lang-packs (so every 
language the distro supports also has a corresponding OOo language and 
resource... Not to mention it opens up the possibility to include so 
much more content (video, audio, writings, pictures, etc)

Doesn't it include GNASH? The latest release supports rather well video 
playback from on-line sources such as YouTube and GoogleVideo, it'd only 
make sense to make sure it also played nice with the video player on the 
sites the Disk links to... Or at least let the Gnash developers know of 
these so they could broaden their test cases.
