Greetings,

I'd like to point out that your LiveDVD is not the sanctioned one, and that 
Nguyen Quoc Uy is listed as responsible for generating a 3.14.x LiveDVD.
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_3.14

Also, no such role will exist for 3.16 -- I guess no one should up for the 
role voting and discussing IRC meetings.

As for VKV's LiveDVD (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kohalivedvd/), except 
for the fact that it was Ubuntu Desktop (Koha is intended to be a server, 
and not running on just a single machine), I thought that was an okay 
attempt at one. It also has the advantage of being able to sudo apt-get 
update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and then you have 
the latest version, just like a package installation, if you use it as an 
installation DVD. :)

It should be noted as well that LiveDVDs have the sad distinction of being 
out of date the instant they are burned and distributed. So, my 
understanding of the general consensus on LiveDVDs is that they are bad for 
production use, but great for trial use, training sessions, or other 
short-term non-production uses.

GPML,
