Just try KDE beta3 liveCD : it's wonderful (after the workaround for
nvidia graphic card problem)
quite everything is OK
you just need to add the repo in CCM rpmdrake and validate the non-free
and tainted repo if you want to read multimedia files : the gstreamer
plugins rpm and dependancies will be automagicaly downloaded

never used such a good LiveCD (better than fedora, debian, opensuse !)
