[K12OSN] K12LTSP Live CD?

[Peter Hartmann]

I was also interested in this.  I found Freeduc which has some
Edutainment apps on a knoppix cd.  However after I managed to get it
to default to US-en I found that Gcompris didn't have the english 
voices- only french.  For me it needed a remaster which I'm not up to
at the moment.
