Specifically, a Debian Linux live CD containing about 4.5GB of data on a
cloop-compressed ISO-9660 filesystem squeezed onto a single live CD. (It
also features a crapload of automatic hardware detection.) However,
there is an opion to install to HD, uncompressed. Once you do that, it
behaves more or less like a typical Debian installation.

Got that far.

OK, I'll probably try that then.
