Aye!

To clarify why I asked...

squashfs is no longer limited to 2gb(?)  LiveCDs can now be made larger 
than 700mb, hence requiring the use of a DVD (ergo LiveDVD I guess)

If you dont have a DVD reader..then its a bit hard to boot from said 
LiveDVD.


THANKS for all responses so far. This REALLY helps to get consensus of 
the most commonly required apps and not create unnecessary clutter!
