I would like to be able to offer live CDs to members of writing groups I associate with in my home town. This is primary so I don't have any problems sharing my work as Microsoft Word. Documents written with a Linux OS inevitably prove difficult to open on their product.
The problem is that getting a download of Mageia 4 requires I fill a DVD completely with a ton of stuff that most writers will never use. I am in love with KDE because it has an app on the bottom bar that houses all your copied items. A tool that is invaluable to a budding author. Also I love the way KDE fits all its apps together. For example the PDF writing tool that permits easy clipping and OCR so you can turn quotes into text with very little hassle.
How can I obtain a live CD download with minimum stuff on it. I am not after a light version. The average beginner won't know how to find their modem without a lot of help and I love the way all the Linux distros I have ever tried just work out of the box with Firefox or what have you browser. So is there a cut down version out there I can get, please?
