please help me understand if Kwort is a live distribution that can be
run from a CD or if it must be installed on a drive before using.
Thanks very much. mike

Kwort, like every "real" distribution requires intallation first in order
to use it and IMHO, that is the correct approach as dumping a live-CD's
content to a harddisk drive is not the same than a propper and clean
installation, this is due to the fact that a Live distribution requires
some modification on the startup (init) process etc. which, if it is
installed onto a hard disk drive is still behaving little bit different
than a real installation.

But the good point is, that myself is playing around with linux-live
scripts to create a Kwort live CD ;)
I've already done a running prototype (which is really really a pre-pre
alpha version at the moment that should be considered as a "proof of
concept", but not ready for a public release).
