being windows me i doubt it is ntfs. i don't think it could even use that, could it? i don't know of any live cds with audacity off the top of my head, but i know things like the ubuntu customization kit - http://uck.sourceforge.net/, or reconstructor - http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ (also ubuntu) allow you to install packages (and remove packages if they aren't needed) then remaster a livecd from that. i did this once when i went somewhere without a net connection to chuck a few games and things on there :) porl On 01/08/07, Kevin Cosgrove <kevinc(a)doink.com> wrote:

Thoughts folks? 64 Studio 2.0 has live CDs for both amd64 and i386: http://download.linuxaudio.org/64studio/ and audacity/realtime-kernel are both included. Ciao! Free
