</div></div>On a more fundamental level, why was Sara limited to the live CD, seeing<br>
that the download of the full gentoo CD is just as free as the live one?<br>
If the purpose of the virtual installation is more than a temporary<br>

worthwhile to download the full version and do it right?<br>
